What a personal injury lawyer in Wollongong can help with
Personal injury lawyers act for people injured at work, on the road, in public places or through medical treatment, and for people claiming total and permanent disability (TPD) or income protection insurance. Compensation schemes are State-based, with different insurers, notice periods and thresholds in New South Wales.
- Motor vehicle accident (CTP) claims
- Workers compensation and work injury damages
- Public liability claims
- Medical negligence
- TPD and income protection insurance claims through superannuation
- Dust diseases and institutional abuse claims
- Disputes about impairment assessments
Personal Injury in New South Wales: what is different
Motor accident claims run through the CTP scheme regulated by SIRA; workers compensation through icare or self-insurers. Strict early steps apply, including lodging a CTP claim within 3 months of the accident for full entitlements. Advertising of personal injury legal services is restricted in New South Wales, so expect listings to be factual rather than promotional.
Questions to ask before you instruct
- Which scheme does my injury fall under, and what notice has to be given now?
- Do you offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement, and exactly what does it cover?
- What percentage of my compensation will go to legal costs, including disbursements?
- Have you run claims against this insurer before?
- How long will the claim realistically take?
Costs and funding
Many personal injury lawyers offer conditional (no-win, no-fee) agreements; read what happens to disbursements and whether an uplift applies. Scheme insurers often pay part of your legal costs if a claim succeeds. Legal Aid NSW does not generally fund injury compensation claims, but community legal centres can explain which scheme applies. Lawyers must give you costs disclosure under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) before or as soon as practicable after starting work.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a time limit?
Generally three years from the date of injury to start court proceedings, but the practical deadlines are much shorter: scheme notices and claim forms in New South Wales are often due within months. Get advice early.
What does no-win, no-fee mean?
You pay professional fees only if the claim succeeds. Disbursements such as medical reports may still be payable, and an uplift on fees may apply, so read the costs agreement carefully.
Can I claim TPD through my super?
If your superannuation fund includes TPD insurance and you cannot work in your usual or any suited occupation, you may be able to claim. The insurer’s definition in your policy governs the test.
