Personal Injury Lawyers Wollongong

Our personal injury lawyers in Wollongong will help you to gather all the information and evidence you need to make a strong compensation claim. They will investigate the incident and help you to acquire any medical documents required to strengthen your case. They will also negotiate with opposing lawyers or insurance companies to get you the best possible outcome.

What makes Masselos & Co different from other compensation lawyers in Wollongong is our compassion. We understand how difficult this process can be and our lawyers will go the extra mile to make sure that you and your family feel comfortable, informed and reassured throughout the process.

Our personal injury lawyers in Wollongong specialise in all aspects of personal injury litigation, including workers compensation. Whether you’re seeking temporary payments for time spent off work or a lump sum for permanent impairment, our specialist compensation lawyers in Wollongong can help.

There are many different types of workers compensation claims and many different processes that can apply. In some cases, employers may not be following the correct protocol for workplace injuries and you may be entitled to take further action. Some of these actions can include lodging a complaint with the relevant authority, filing a compensation claim with the Personal Injury Commission, or contacting your employer’s insurer directly. 

Filing for workers compensation can be complicated and it can easily get messy if your employer is not meeting their legal obligations. Using a personal injury lawyer who specialises in workers compensation cases is therefore the best way to get the result you deserve.

Medical negligence is a complex area of the law and you therefore need an experienced legal expert on your side right from the start.

At Masselos & Co, we believe that injury law experts should be consulted for all compensation claims but this is particularly important when it comes to medical malpractice or negligence. Proving medical negligence can be difficult and medical institutions often have robust systems in place to dispute these kinds of claims. Having an experienced medical negligence lawyer on your side is therefore essential. 

The longer you wait to start the process, the harder it is to prove medical negligence. So if you believe that you have been the victim of medical negligence, book a free consultation with our specialist lawyers today.

A no win no fee lawyer will not charge you unless they win your case. The only costs you may be required to cover are external ones such as travel expenses, court fees and obtaining certain documents.

Most good personal injury lawyers will offer a free initial consultation as well. This means that regardless of whether or not you choose to pursue the claim, you will not be charged for the consultation.

During the free consultation, your personal injury lawyer will ask you questions in order to gather as much information as possible about the incident and resulting injury. They will ask you to describe what happened, how and when, as well as ask for details of any witnesses or proof you might have. After they feel that they have enough information, they will tell you whether or not they believe you have a strong enough case for compensation. At this point, you are free to decide for yourself whether you want to pursue the claim any further. If you do choose to continue with the claim, the lawyer will outline the next steps and prepare you for the process.

The free consultation is also your opportunity to ask questions. We suggested that you prepare a list of questions beforehand so that you don’t accidentally forget something important on the day. A good personal injury lawyer will most likely answer most of your questions during the meeting anyway, but if you have any concerns or are unclear about anything, this is the perfect opportunity to speak up and get the information you want.

There are many benefits to using a personal injury lawyer for your compensation claim, but three main advantages stand out.

First of all, you are far more likely to win your claim with an experienced and knowledgeable expert on your side. Personal injury lawyers know the law inside and out. They know what information you need to gather to have a strong case and they know how to get results. They also know how to negotiate with other lawyers and insurance companies and are therefore more likely to get you a better and larger payout.

The second benefit is that it saves you time, hassle and stress. Let’s face it — you and your family have already been through enough. Why add to that by trying to navigate legal paperwork and systems without help? Using personal injury lawyers will make the entire process a lot easier on you and your loved ones.

The final benefit is that it’s low risk. Because the best personal injury lawyers operate under no win no fee conditions, you’ve got nothing to lose by making a claim. So, when it increases your chances at winning while reducing the stress factor and poses no financial risk, why wouldn’t you use a personal injury lawyer?

Masselos & Co have a team of senior lawyers who specialise in all areas of personal injury, including TPD insurance claims.

Total and permanent disablement (TPD) can make returning to work difficult or, in some cases, impossible. In these cases, having TPD insurance can be a lifeline. This insurance policy can provide you and your family with financial protection in case you become disabled due to an illness or injury.

In order to make a TPD insurance claim, you must have TPD insurance cover. The levels of cover for TPD insurance can vary significantly and in order to choose the right policy for you, you need to consider things like debts, day to day living costs and medical expenses as well as any debts you might have (including mortgages and credit cards).

Even when you have TPD insurance, making a claim for a total and permanent disablement can be complicated. In order to ensure the best possible outcome, it’s worth partnering with a lawyer who specialises in this field. They can help you to gather all the appropriate documentation and evidence to ensure that you get the payout you deserve.

If you’re unsure whether or not you can claim TPD cover, make an appointment for a free consultation with our TPD insurance experts in Wollongong today.
