A person’s rights under personal injury law are a little-known area to many Australians, which means a lot of injured people are unaware that they can claim compensation. Some people battle alone, suffering from financial stress, relationship breakups, loss of income, psychological stress, and the loss of their homes.

If they knew it, they could call a personal injury lawyer at PK Simpson and ask if they’re eligible to claim compensation. While people can decide whether or not they want to contact personal injury compensation lawyers and pursue a personal injury claim, they can’t make an informed choice if they don’t know their rights or find the resources needed to make such a claim.

At PK Simpson, our personal injury lawyers are well-versed in the challenges and intricacies of personal injury legislation in NSW and provide solid advice about your rights and eligibility to claim.

    What is Personal Injury Law?

    Personal injury law is described as general damage to someone due to the fault of another person or a breach of their duty of care. The fault can be the driver of a vehicle, a person, the owner or manager of a public area, or an employer. In Australia, Personal injury claims may be due to physical or psychological injury caused by someone else’s neglect or wrongdoing.

    If you have suffered a personal injury in any of the above categories, call a top personal injury lawyer in Sydney -PK Simpson Lawyers –  to discuss your claim today.

    PK Simpson lawyers have successfully helped thousands of people through the process of personal injury claims and won them the compensation they deserved.

    What Evidence is Required For a Personal Injury Claim?

    Proving a claim is no walk in the park, so if you’re injured and want to claim compensation, you need to call on the services of skilled, experienced lawyers such as PK Simpson, experts in personal injury law. These professional personal injury lawyers can help you lodge the claim and help you by sorting out and documenting the following:

    • The evidence necessary to prove the extent of your injuries
    • The damage and the nature of the negligence by the other person or entity.
    • Medical reports, estimates of future losses and treatment costs for the injuries sustained.
    • Evidence of financial loss, financial records, and reports detailing estimated future loss of income.
    • Also, psychological reports on any trauma or PTSD.
    • Police records and insurance assessment surrounding material damages.

    Do Personal Injury Cases Drag On Forever?

    Your medical treatment and stabilisation after surgery is the main factor  which dictates the length of time a claim takes to finalise.

    People are injured in many different circumstances, and various levels of severity, so your personal injury claim could last from a few months to a few years. Short-term resolution of personal injury claims is relatively rare, with longer time-frames more common, with many taking from eight months to a year on average. More often than not, serious personal injury cases need to take longer so the injured person can stabilise and medical professionals can better estimate long-term damage and disability.

    The PK Simpson team of highly skilled lawyers in a personal injury law firm
    have the talent and experience to make sure your compensation claim is successful.

    Is There a Statute of Limitations in Personal Injury Law?

    Make your claim as quickly as possible. Do not wait as this can cause issues. There are ways around time limitations but these are best avoided for obvious reasons.

    Your PK Simpson lawyer can also advise you on the time your case might take and any personal injury statute of limitations that may apply, depending on the circumstances and the severity of your injury. Call our personal injury lawyers today to determine a possible time limit for personal injury claims and our no-win, no-fee policy.

    Get Advice on Your Personal Injury Compensation Claim

    If you’ve suffered an injury in a car accident, a slip and fall incident or any other situation where you received injuries due to another person’s negligence or deliberate action, our client services can help.

    Traffic Accidents:

    Compulsory Third Party insurance (CTP) is compulsory in all states and territories of Australia, though it works differently in each state. However, CTP in all states aims to cover anyone injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident. At PK Simpson, our lawyers can also help injured people in accidents where the vehicle at fault is unknown or unregistered.

    Work Injuries:

    Injured at work? Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your injury because limits apply when making claims. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can start building your case to help you recover and get on with life.

    Super & TPD:

    Some people are unaware that their Superannuation Fund has an insurance component, and they can claim a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) lump sum payment. Get in touch with PK Simpson solicitors for help today.

    Public Liability:

    Public and occupier liability covers a broad range of accidents due to another person’s fault and negligence. Our personal injury specialist lawyers can help you claim injury compensation if you have been injured due to the fault or negligence of a property owner. Speak with one of our lawyers specialising in public and occupiers liability law at PK Simpson today.

    Medical Negligence:

    All healthcare professionals in Australia are legally obliged to treat their patients with ‘reasonable care and skill’, but when that fails and a patient is harmed, this is called medical malpractice or medical negligence. Lawyers specialising in this complex area of law need a high level of specialised skill and knowledge. Our lawyers at PK Simpson are the ones to call on if you need help in this area.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      • What’s your area of expertise?
      • What success stories can you share?
      • How often have you gone to trial?
      • What’s your track record?
      • How much will I have to pay in fees?
      • Who will handle my case?
      • How will they communicate with me?
      • How long will it take to reach an outcome?
      • How much compensation am I likely to receive?

      A: The length of time you have to make your claim depends on the jurisdiction.

      For instance:

      • TPD claims – these may be commenced up to 10 years after you’ve stopped work. TPD claims are very technical and you may have more than one TPD claim.
      • Car accident claims – A personal injury claim form should be filled in and sent to your CTP insurer as early as possible, but must be no later than six months from the date of your accident. HOWEVER, out of time claims may be made. New NSW CTP laws have made it difficult for injured people and many law firms still do not understand how to run new claims under these laws – so call us at PK Simpson Sydney as soon as possible.
      • Workers compensation claims – You should contact a lawyer within six months of the accident. But remember, out of time claims can be handled by PK Simpson Sydney. We can help you get the treatment required to build your claim.
      • Slip ‘n’ fall/occupiers liability claims – Your claim must be lodged usually within three years of the date of your accident.

      Medical Negligence – within three years of the date of when the cause of action was discoverable to our client OR 12 years from the time of the act or omission which caused the injury through negligence.

      A: At PK Simpson in Sydney we act on a no win, no fee basis and an estimate of the costs will be discussed and clearly explained to you during the preliminary stages of your claim. At the end of your claim, we charge only for the work we’ve done, so if your claim is finalised faster than expected, we charge fees only up to that point. Also, we pay for all medical reports upfront.

      Unlike most law firms, we don’t charge a strict percentage which would have you paying a set figure even if the claim settles in two weeks. Costs can be affected by the type of accident, your insurer, liability and other considerations.

      A: If you’ve suffered serious bodily, psychological or reputational injuries it’s crucial that you contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. There are special skills and training and a thorough knowledge of the law required to file a personal injury lawsuit and there are time frames in which you need to lodge your claim. Especially for traffic accidents and medical negligence claims in NSW, you will need an experienced team to handle and build your claim. So the advice is to take action as soon as you are able.

      A: A personal injury lawyer will represent you if you’ve been injured in an incident or accident that was not your fault. Lawyers such as the specialists at PK Simpson Sydney work in personal injury and compensation law, encompassing deliberate acts and negligence, to claim compensation for you. Apart from all the legal work, lawyers also help you to recover faster by making sure you get the treatment and resources needed. PK Simpson pays for all medical reports needed to maximise your claim and get the best evidence.

      A: The legal definition of a personal injury is general physical and/or psychological damage to a person which is the fault of another party. This can be, for instance, the driver of another vehicle, another person, owner of a public area, or an employer. A physical injury usually involves an injury of a psychological nature or it can be one or the other. Specialist doctors are required to identify the nature of injury to round out a personal injury claim.
