Personal Injury FAQ's
What types of personal injury claims can a lawyer help with in Perth?
A personal injury lawyer in Perth can assist with compensation claims arising from motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, and accidents that occur in public places. These cases typically fall under three legal categories: workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, and general negligence, each with its own rules around who is at fault and what compensation may be available.
The common thread across all of these claims is that someone else’s negligence caused or contributed to your physical injury. Whether you were rear-ended in traffic, hurt by faulty equipment at work, or injured due to a poorly maintained footpath, you have a legal right to seek compensation. Seeking specialist advice early helps establish the strength of your claim before critical evidence is lost or time limits expire. Find out more here.
How does no win no fee work for personal injury cases in Western Australia?
Under a no win no fee arrangement, your lawyer does not require upfront payment, legal fees are only charged if your claim is successful. This means you can pursue compensation without the financial risk of paying solicitor fees out of pocket while you may already be unable to work due to your injury.
It’s worth understanding that not every claim will proceed on this basis. If a lawyer assesses that the prospects of success are limited, we will explain this to you honestly before you commit to moving forward. Tan & Tan Lawyers offer this transparency upfront, providing the information and advice you need to make an informed decision about whether to pursue your claim. Free initial advice is available by email, and low-cost consultations via Zoom, or phone allow you to understand your position before any costs are incurred.
Can I claim compensation for a workplace injury in Western Australia?
Yes, if you have been injured at work due to unsafe conditions, faulty equipment, or inadequate training, you may be entitled to compensation through either workers’ compensation or an employer’s liability claim. Workers’ compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault, while an employer’s liability claim requires proving that your employer’s negligence directly caused or contributed to the injury.
Many people assume that lodging a workers’ comp claim is the only option, but in cases where clear negligence is involved, a separate common law claim may result in significantly higher compensation. A lawyer experienced in negligence law can assess whether you have grounds for one or both types of claim, and guide you through the process so that your entitlements are fully protected. Getting advice early is especially important because strict time limits apply to both pathways in Western Australia.
What compensation can I receive for a personal injury caused by negligence?
Compensation for a negligence-based injury claim typically covers medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income (both past and future), pain and suffering, and any reduction in your ability to earn a living going forward. The exact amount depends on the severity of the injury, the impact on your daily life and capacity to work, and the degree of negligence involved.
One of the reasons people hesitate to pursue a claim is uncertainty about whether it’s genuinely worth it. In most cases involving a legitimate physical injury, the answer is yes, compensation exists specifically to restore your financial position as closely as possible to where it was before the accident. A negligence law specialist can evaluate what your claim is likely to be worth, provide honest advice about the strength of your case, and ensure that all relevant heads of damage are included so that nothing is left on the table.
Is it worth making a compensation claim after a car accident in Perth?
In most cases, yes, if you’ve sustained a physical injury in a motor vehicle accident caused by another driver’s negligence, you have a legal right to claim compensation. Even where injuries seem minor initially, symptoms can develop or worsen over time, making it important to get both medical and legal advice as early as possible after the accident.
There can be a stigma around making a compensation claim, with people questioning whether their case is genuine or significant enough to pursue. The reality is that these claims exist to cover real costs, medical treatment, time off work, rehabilitation, and ongoing pain, that shouldn’t fall on you when someone else was at fault. A free initial consultation by email or a low-cost phone or video call can help you understand your position without any obligation, so you can decide whether to proceed based on clear, honest advice rather than uncertainty.
