Personal Injury Lawyers

A personal injury claim is a legal process through which an individual seeks compensation for damages and losses resulting from another party’s negligence or wrongdoing. In Parramatta, these claims address a range of incidents, such as car accidents, workplace injuries, medical negligence, and public liability matters.

Our experienced team handles a wide range of personal injury claims, including:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Slip and fall accidents (public liability)
• Medical negligence
• Product liability

According to the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (NSW) and Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 (NSW), you may be eligible for:

1. Weekly payments for lost income
2. Medical and rehabilitation expenses
3. Lump sum payments for permanent impairment
4. Travel expenses related to medical treatment

In general, you have three years from the date of the accident or when the injury became apparent to initiate legal proceedings. This is known as the limitation period. However, there are exceptions to this rule, so it’s crucial to consult with a lawyer specialising in personal injury law as soon as possible after your injury.

Parramatta, like the rest of NSW, operates under the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme for motor vehicle accidents. This no-fault scheme means you may be eligible for compensation regardless of who was at fault in the accident. Benefits can include medical expenses, lost income, and care needs.

Key factors that set our firm apart include:

1. In-depth understanding of personal injury claims built through decades of exclusive focus on NSW personal injury law.
2.  Extensive experience in Parramatta and NSW courts
3. No Win, No Fee guarantee
4. No-obligation initial meeting for case assessment and discussion of your options
5.  A high success rate in claims and settlements
6. Prioritisation of clear communication, empathetic support, and personalised strategies for each client.
7. Prompt and efficient handling of all aspects of your claim.
8. Skilful negotiations with insurance companies
9. Guidance on accessing medical and support services during your claim process.

Depending on your case, you may be eligible for compensation covering:

1. Medical and rehabilitation expenses
2. Loss of past and future income
3. Pain and suffering
4. Home modification costs
5. Care and assistance provided by family members

Contributory negligence is a legal concept recognised in NSW law. If you’re found to have contributed to your own injury, your compensation may be reduced. For example, if you were 25% responsible for a car accident, your compensation might be reduced by 25%. Parramatta Personal Injury Lawyers can advise you on how this might apply to your specific case.

No, many personal injury cases in Parramatta are resolved through alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation. This can often lead to faster, less stressful, and more cost-effective outcomes. However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’re prepared to represent you in court.

Gajic Lawyers operate on a “no win, no fee” basis for personal injury claims, meaning you only pay our legal fees if we successfully win your case. Please note, however, that additional costs like court fees and medical report fees may arise. Our Parramatta Perosnal Injury Lawyers will review and explain all potential costs with you from the beginning.

The duration of a personal injury claim in Parramatta can vary significantly depending on several factors:

1. The complexity of your case
2. The severity of your injuries
3. The clarity of liability (who was at fault)
4. The willingness of the other party to negotiate
5. Whether the case goes to court
