Compensation and personal injury FAQs

If you’re considering a personal injury claim in Adelaide or anywhere in South Australia, it’s important to act fast — strict time limits apply, and missing a deadline could mean losing your right to compensation.

The exact timeframe varies depending on the type of claim:

Car and motor vehicle accident claims

You typically have three years from the accident date to file your claim.

Public liability and medical negligence claims

The deadline is three years from the date you became aware that you had grounds for a claim.

Workers compensation claims

You must start your claim within six months of your workplace injury or illness.

TPD claims

Most TPD claims don’t have strict deadlines unless specified in your policy. However, it’s best to file as soon as possible — delays can make gathering evidence more difficult, and in our experience, super funds are more likely to reject late claims.

If you’ve been injured, you might be wondering whether you really need a lawyer or if you can manage the claim on your own. While it’s possible to go solo, having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side can significantly improve your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve — not just for medical bills and lost wages, but also for pain, suffering, and future financial impacts.

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and for as little as possible, hoping claimants accept less than they’re entitled to. Without strong legal representation, you could end up with a payout that doesn’t fully cover your losses.

A skilled personal injury lawyer will handle everything, from collecting critical evidence to negotiating with insurers. And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no financial risk to you. Get in touch today for a free consultation and find out how we can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Many personal injury law firms in Adelaide promote ‘No Win No Fee’ services, promising you won’t have to pay unless they win your case. But the reality isn’t always that simple.

Some firms take up to 50% of your compensation, and even if your case is unsuccessful, their No Win No Fee policy might only cover legal fees — leaving you responsible for other costs like court fees and expert reports.

At Monaco, we believe in fair and transparent pricing. Our fees are capped at 30%, and in many cases, we recover these costs from the other party. This means you keep more of your total payout.

Before we move forward with your claim, we’ll give you a full cost breakdown upfront. And with us, our No Win No Fee guarantee means exactly that — if we don’t win, you don’t pay.

Yes, you absolutely can. If your current personal injury lawyer isn’t keeping you informed, isn’t pushing hard enough for your compensation, or simply doesn’t feel like the right fit, you’re not obligated to stay with them.

If you decide to switch to Monaco, we’ll take care of everything — contacting your previous lawyer, transferring your case files, and making sure the handover is completely hassle-free.

Not sure if making the switch is the right move? Our compensation lawyers in Adelaide offer free second opinions, so you can get expert advice before making a decision.

The compensation you receive will depend on your specific case, but it may include:

  • Lost income: including wages you’ve missed and future earning potential.
  • Superannuation contributions: both past and future.
  • Medical costs: hospital bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
  • Professional care and home support: if your injury requires assistance.
  • Help from family and friends: recognising their unpaid support.
  • Loss of ability to care for dependents: if your injury affects your caregiving role.
  • Pain and suffering compensation: for how the injury impacts your life.

The amount you’re entitled to depends on factors such as the severity of your injury, your earnings before the accident, and whether you can return to work.

Compensation aims to restore what you’ve lost, but calculating the full impact of an injury can be complex. That’s why working with an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential. They’ll ensure you claim everything you’re entitled to, not just the obvious costs.

For minor injuries, compensation may only cover lost wages and medical expenses. But for serious, life-changing injuries, you could be entitled to a much larger payout.

Want to find out what your claim is worth? Contact a personal injury lawyer in Adelaide today.

While every case is different, most personal injury claims in Adelaide and South Australia follow a similar path:

1. Start with a free consultation

Get in touch with our Adelaide team, and one of our experienced personal injury lawyers will assess your situation. They’ll explain your rights, outline your options, and provide expert legal advice. If you choose to proceed with us, the same lawyer will handle your case from beginning to end.

2. Collecting evidence

To build a strong case, your lawyer will gather essential documents from doctors, employers, and witnesses. This helps prove the extent of your injury and its impact on your life.

3. Consulting specialists

We collaborate with top medical and liability experts to strengthen your claim. Any specialist reports, expert opinions, or required medical tests will be arranged at no upfront cost to you.

4. Negotiation and legal proceedings

Once the evidence is ready, we begin the legal process. Over 95% of personal injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiation. Your lawyer will handle discussions with the insurer, working to secure the best outcome for you.

If a settlement can’t be reached, your lawyer will guide you through the next steps and discuss your legal options.

5. Receiving your compensation

With a strong track record of success, our team is committed to maximising your payout. Once your case is finalised, you’ll receive your compensation as either a lump sum or structured payments.

The time it takes to resolve a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the complexity of your case. While some claims can be settled within a few months, others — particularly those involving serious injuries or disputes over liability — may take longer.

The process typically involves several stages, such as collecting medical reports, submitting legal documents, and negotiating with insurance companies. If a fair settlement is reached early, your case may conclude sooner. However, if further legal action is needed, the timeline can be extended.

At Monaco, we work efficiently to secure the best possible outcome in the shortest time frame. During your free consultation, our Adelaide personal injury lawyers will review your case and provide a clear estimate of how long the process may take.

Monaco helped me get much more compensation than I expected.

Monaco Lawyers helped me to receive compensation for an ongoing injury I sustained after I was simply driving home from work and was driven into head on by an incompetent and negligent driver who I believe was texting at the time of the accident.

StarStarStarStarStar

I am forever thankful! God bless you for being there for me whenever I called.

Monaco Compensation Lawyers are second to no-one. Anthony and his team were there for me every step of the way. When I got disheartened or down, I would make one phone call to the team at Monaco Solicitors, and they were there for me instantly—reassuring me and consoling me.

StarStarStarStarStar

Good result! We had a complicated claim but they got the job done.

My brothers and I had a complicated claim. I found Ben Ralph to be very helpful, himself and Sally Sutton worked hard for just over a year to get through our claim. They achieved a good result and got the monies paid to myself and my brothers.

I knew it from the very first phone call: I had found a compassionate law firm.

Monaco Solicitors, I have no hesitation in recommending Daniella Dababneh and her team. After I suffered a serious workplace accident, I was in need of legal help.

StarStarStarStarStar

Thank you for accomplishing so much in such a short time.

Great communication, empathy and understanding. My case worker Daniella was a saint, understanding and patient and always passing on any updates in record time.

Monaco is the place to go for a lawyer that cares. You're in safe hands.

They helped me when I needed it the most. Monaco are very informative and genuinely care about the outcome of your matter. Navigating the CTP, ICP and TPD system can be very overwhelming. They reduce this where every they can.

StarStarStarStarStar

They helped me juggle my injury claim and my mum's full-time care.

I highly recommend Monaco Solicitors. I was claiming PI through my superannuation for workplace injuries. They were doing a no win no fee which was great as I am a carer for my mum and don’t earn much.

StarStarStarStarStar

The bill? Surprisingly reasonable, less than expected.

Sally was very helpful and always kept me up-to-date so if you ever use Monaco Solicitors just make sure you get Sally she’s very good. And the bill was very reasonable I thought it would be higher.

I'm glad my friend recommended Monaco. I was happy with the result.

Green Slip Claim: I switched from another Law firm to Monaco on advice from a friend. I am so glad I did, within weeks I was sent off for further scans which led to proof of the pain I was in. All throughout the claim process I was kept up to date. Once settled I was more than happy with the end result. I would definitely recommend Monaco Compensation Lawyers, thanks.

Monaco's help reduced a 12-month process to just a few months.

My father originally found Monaco online for super claims,. They had discussed with him in great detail the processes and had been kind and very helpful a few years ago. When needing help with my mothers super claim I knew I could trust Monaco again.
