Compensation can cover medical and rehabilitation costs, lost income and future earning capacity, and in some schemes pain and suffering. The right claim depends on how and where you were hurt. Most personal injury lawyers offer a free first consultation and no win, no fee arrangements.
Why personal injury matters
Compensation pays for treatment, lost income and future care. Settling too early or missing a deadline can leave injured people without support they're entitled to.
The Australian context
Injury compensation in Australia is largely state-based. Each state has civil liability legislation that caps some damages, plus separate schemes for motor accidents and workplace injuries. Many injury lawyers work on no win, no fee terms.

Understand the next step
A practical guide to personal injury
What to discuss at the first meeting
Describe the event, resulting difficulties and whether an insurer or other body is already involved. Ask which compensation pathway the firm is proposing to assess, rather than treating all injuries as one kind of claim.
Ask about both the legal fee arrangement and the cost of obtaining independent evidence.
How the engagement may progress
01
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
02
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
03
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Fees and the scope of work
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Dates to raise at first contact
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.
Questions to ask a personal injury adviser
Which scheme or claim is relevant?
What evidence would you need before advising on prospects?
Which scheme or policy are you assessing?
Who pays for reports and other evidence?
What could I pay if the claim does not succeed?

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to make a claim?
Limitation periods differ by claim type and state, and some schemes require notice within weeks or months. Get advice early.
What does no win, no fee mean?
You pay the lawyer's professional fees only if the claim succeeds. You may still be responsible for costs such as medical reports, and in some cases the other side's costs, so ask for a written costs agreement.
How long does a claim take?
Simple claims can settle within months. Claims involving serious injuries usually wait until your condition has stabilised so the full impact can be assessed, which can take a year or more.
