Our personal injury lawyers know what it takes to win and will fight to get you the best outcome. We’ve even won numerous awards for our work, including ‘Compensation Law Firm of the Year 2020 GBM Global Awards.’
With over 25 years of experience, our personal injury lawyers have helped countless Perth locals secure the compensation they deserve.
Below are some of the most common types of personal injury claims we’ve successfully handled. Depending on your circumstances, you might be eligible for more than one claim.
Leon Monaco founded our law firm in 1999 with a simple mission: to make justice accessible to all Australians.
Now, 25 years and thousands of successful claims later, we’ve grown to 29 locations nationwide, including our Perth CBD office. But one thing remains the same — our commitment to helping Australians secure fast, fair, and affordable personal injury compensation.
As part of this promise, your Perth personal injury lawyer will always:
In Perth and across WA, most personal injury claims have time limits. While the exact deadline depends on the type of claim, it’s always important to act quickly to protect your rights.
You’ll typically need to start your car or motor accident claim within 3 years from the accident date.
For public liability or medical negligence claims, you must start your case within 3 years of the accident or injury date.
You have 12 months from the time you realise you’re injured to start your claim.
While TPD claims usually don’t have strict time limits unless stated in your policy, we strongly recommend filing as soon as possible. Waiting too long can make it harder to collect evidence, and in our experience, super funds are more likely to reject delayed claims.
If you’ve been injured, you might be wondering if you really need a personal injury lawyer or if you can handle the claim yourself. While you can go solo, having a lawyer can greatly improve your chances of securing the full compensation you’re entitled to. It’s not just about covering lost wages and medical bills — you may also be eligible for pain and suffering damages and future expenses.
In our experience, insurance companies often push low settlements, hoping you’ll accept less than your claim is worth. Without a skilled personal injury lawyer advocating for you, it’s easy to walk away with far less than you deserve.
Your lawyer takes care of every part of your claim: from gathering evidence and filing your claim to negotiating with insurers. And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no financial risk in getting legal support. Contact us today for a free consultation and find out how we can help you maximise your compensation.
Most Perth personal injury lawyers operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ model, promising to cover upfront costs so you don’t pay if your claim fails. But there’s often a catch.
Some firms take up to 50% of your compensation, and their No Win No Fee guarantees aren’t always as clear as they seem. If your claim is unsuccessful, they may only waive their own fees — leaving you to cover expenses like court costs and expert reports.
At Monaco, we do things differently. Our fees are fair and transparent, capped at 30% of your compensation. In many cases, we recover our costs from the other side, meaning you keep more — sometimes even all — of your personal injury compensation.
We also provide a full cost breakdown upfront, so you’ll know exactly what to expect if we win your case. And unlike others, our No Win No Fee guarantee is exactly that. If we don’t win, you pay nothing. No hidden costs. No surprises. No exceptions.
Absolutely! You can change lawyers in a personal injury case if you’re unhappy with your current representation. Whether they’re not keeping you informed, not fighting hard enough for your compensation, or you’ve simply lost confidence in them, you’re not stuck — you have options.
If you decide to switch to Monaco, we’ll handle everything for you, including notifying your previous lawyer and ensuring a seamless transfer of your case files.

Your personal injury compensation may include:
The amount you receive depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your pre-injury earnings, and whether you’re able to return to work.
Crucially, compensation is designed to make up for all the negative impacts of your injury — but calculating this impact isn’t always simple. That’s why it’s essential to have a lawyer who understands your situation, the true impact of your injury, and will fight to ensure your personal injury compensation covers all your losses.
For minor injuries, your compensation may cover only lost wages and medical expenses. But if your injuries are severe or permanent, you could be entitled to a significant lump sum.

Each personal injury claim in Perth (and broader WA) is slightly different, but most claims move through the following steps:
Speak with one of our lawyers, and they’ll ask the right questions to fully understand your situation and give you the best legal advice. The personal injury lawyer you talk to will likely be with you every step of the way, guiding your claim to a successful outcome.
Your personal injury lawyer will collect and review details from your doctors, employer, witnesses, and others to build a clear picture of your injury and its impact on your life.
We collaborate with a nationwide network of medical and liability experts to build strong evidence for your claim. Plus, we cover any upfront costs for things like doctor visits and medical tests.
After gathering all the necessary evidence, we’ll begin legal proceedings. Most personal injury cases (over 95%) are resolved through out-of-court mediation, where your lawyer will handle all negotiations to secure the best outcome.
If your case doesn’t settle, your lawyer will guide you through the next steps and discuss your options moving forward.
With our strong track record of success, you can trust that we’ll work tirelessly to secure the payout you deserve. Once your personal injury claim is resolved, you’ll receive your compensation — either as weekly payments or a lump sum.
The length of time it takes to settle a personal injury claim varies based on the complexity and specific circumstances of your case. While some claims may be resolved in just a few months, others can take longer, especially if you’re pursuing a negligence case or dealing with serious injuries that require ongoing treatment.
Your claim will go through several stages, such as collecting evidence, filing your claim, and negotiating with insurers.
At Monaco, we focus on settling your claim quickly while ensuring you get the full compensation you’re entitled to. During your free consultation, our personal injury lawyers will take the time to understand your situation and give you a better idea of how long your claim could take.
