      Claims our VIC personal injury lawyers can assist with

      For over 25 years, we’ve been dedicated to helping Victorians get the compensation they deserve.

      Below are some of the most common claims we manage. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for multiple types of compensation.

      Why choose our compensation lawyers in Victoria?

      In 1999, Leon Monaco founded our firm with a clear goal: to make high-quality legal support available to everyone in Australia.

      Now, 25 years later, we’ve helped thousands of people win their claims and expanded to seven offices across Victoria (and many more nationwide). Despite our growth, our mission remains the same — securing fast, fair, and affordable compensation for our clients.

      When you choose our VIC compensation lawyers, you’ll get:

      • Honest advice on what your claim is really worth.
      • A solid case backed by leading industry experts.
      • The resources to stand up to major insurers.
      • Skilled negotiators working to maximise your payout.
      • Clear communication and regular updates.
      • Expertly prepared court documents, if needed.
      • No upfront costs thanks to our No Win No Fee guarantee.
      • A legal team dedicated to getting you the best result.

      Compensation and personal injury FAQs

      In Victoria, personal injury claims must be filed within specific timeframes, which vary depending on the type of claim. Missing these deadlines could mean losing your chance to seek compensation, so acting quickly is essential.

      Car and motor vehicle accident claims

      You generally have up to six years from the accident date to lodge a claim.

      Public liability and medical negligence claims

      Claims must be started within three years of becoming aware that your injury was caused by negligence.

      Workers compensation claims

      You must notify your employer and begin your claim within 30 days of the accident.

      TPD claims

      While most TPD claims don’t have a set deadline, your superannuation policy may have its own rules. It’s best to file your claim as soon as possible, as delays can make gathering evidence more difficult and may increase the likelihood of rejection.

      Unsure which time limits apply to your claim? Our VIC compensation lawyers can assess your situation and help ensure you don’t miss out on the compensation you’re entitled to.

      If you’ve been injured, you might be debating whether to handle your claim on your own or hire a personal injury lawyer. While you can go it alone, having an experienced lawyer significantly improves your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve. Your claim isn’t just about covering medical costs and lost wages — it can also include compensation for pain and suffering, long-term care, and future financial losses.

      Insurance companies often offer quick, low settlements, hoping you’ll accept less than your claim is worth. Without expert legal support, you may end up with far less than you need to move forward.

      A skilled personal injury lawyer will handle every aspect of your claim, from gathering crucial evidence to negotiating with insurers and even representing you in court if necessary.

      Best of all, with our No Win No Fee guarantee, you don’t pay unless we win. Contact our Victoria compensation lawyers today for a free consultation and expert advice on your claim.

      In Victoria, many law firms promote ‘No Win No Fee’ services, but the reality isn’t always as straightforward as it seems.

      While some cover initial legal costs, many take as much as 50% of your payout, and their guarantees often come with hidden fees. If your claim isn’t successful, you could still be stuck paying for court costs, expert reports, and other expenses.

      At Monaco, we believe in fairness and transparency. No Win No Fee guarantee means exactly that — if we don’t win, you pay nothing. No hidden charges, no surprises.

      We also cap our fees at 30%, ensuring you keep more of your compensation. In many cases, we recover our costs from the other party, meaning you could keep the entire payout.

      Before we start, we’ll give you a clear, upfront cost breakdown so you know exactly what to expect.

      Want to get started on your compensation claim? Contact our Victoria personal injury lawyers today for a free consultation.

      Yes, you can absolutely change personal injury lawyers if you’re not satisfied with your current representation. Whether they’re unresponsive, not fighting hard enough for your claim, or simply not the right fit, you have the right to switch.

      If you choose to move your case to Monaco, we’ll take care of the entire process — from notifying your previous lawyer to transferring your case files — so the transition is smooth and hassle-free.

      Not sure if switching is the best move? Our VIC compensation lawyers offer free second opinions to help you make an informed decision. Get in touch today.

      Personal injury compensation in Victoria may include:

      • Lost income and superannuation: covers wages you’ve missed and future earnings you may lose.
      • Medical expenses: covers hospital bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
      • Professional care: if you require home assistance or nursing care.
      • Support from family and friends: recognises unpaid care provided by loved ones.
      • Loss of dependent care: if your injury prevents you from supporting dependents.
      • Pain and suffering: compensation for how the injury affects your life.

      The amount you receive depends on several factors, including the severity of your injury, your pre-injury income, and whether you can return to work.

      Since compensation is designed to restore what you’ve lost, it’s crucial to ensure every aspect of your claim is considered. That’s where the right lawyer makes all the difference—someone who truly understands your situation and knows how to maximise your payout.

      If your injuries are minor, your claim may cover medical costs and lost wages. For serious or permanent injuries, you could be entitled to a large lump sum payout.

      Want to find out what your claim might be worth? Talk to a personal injury lawyer in Victoria today.

      Every case is unique, but most personal injury claims in Victoria follow these key steps:

      1. Free consultation and case review

      Start by speaking with our Victoria personal injury lawyers for a free consultation. We’ll listen to your story, ask the right questions, and provide expert advice on your best legal options. The lawyer you consult with will likely handle your case from start to finish.

      2. Gathering essential evidence

      To build a strong claim, your lawyer will collect critical documents, such as medical records, employment history, and witness statements. This evidence is crucial in proving the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life.

      3. Expert testimony to strengthen your claim

      We collaborate with top medical specialists and liability experts to support your case with professional assessments. If additional reports are required, we’ll arrange them — and cover all upfront costs so you won’t pay a cent out of pocket.

      4. Negotiations and legal proceedings

      With all evidence in place, we’ll begin legal proceedings. More than 95% of cases are settled through negotiations or mediation, so it’s likely your claim will be resolved without going to court. Your lawyer will handle all discussions with insurers during this process, working hard to secure the highest possible compensation.

      If an agreement isn’t reached, we’ll walk you through your next legal options.

      5. Receiving compensation

      Once your claim is finalised, you’ll receive your compensation payout — either as a lump sum or weekly payments. With our proven track record, you can be confident that we’ll fight for the maximum amount you deserve.

      The time required to settle a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether liability is contested. While straightforward claims may be resolved in a matter of months, more complicated cases — especially those involving serious injuries or disputes — can take longer.

      In most cases, the process involves multiple steps, such as gathering evidence, submitting paperwork, negotiating with insurers, and potentially pursuing legal action if a fair settlement isn’t reached early on. If your claim goes to court, this can further extend the timeline.

      At Monaco, we work diligently to achieve the best possible result in the shortest time frame. During your free consultation, our Victoria personal injury lawyers will assess your case and give you a clear estimate of how long your claim 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.

      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.

      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 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.

      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.

      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.
