Personal injury claims Geraldton
If you or a loved one has been injured in a no-fault accident you may be entitled to compensation. All claims for compensation in Geraldton are governed by WA’s Civil Liability Act 2002.
For your case to have legal merit you generally must have:
- Been in an accident that wasn’t your fault (not in all cases)
- suffered an injury or harm as a result
- be able to prove another person or organisation was responsible
- not be legally barred due to a statute of limitations
To start a claim or for advice regarding your matter please call our WA head office on 08 6206 8080.
Why choose us?
When you make a claim with one of our personal injury lawyers, if for some reason your case is not successful you will not be required to pay for any of his/her legal expenditure. On the other hand, If your case is successful, the legal fees that you will have already agreed on will be deducted from your final settlement.
It’s worth noting that the losing side will normally pay a large part of your legal expenses which means you keep more of your money
How long is the process?
In most cases, claims in WA take more than 12 months to finalise. Minor accidents/small value claims can sometimes be finalised in 12 months. As a rule of thumb, the more complex a matter is, the longer the case will take. For some serious circumstances, it’s not unusual that they take three years or more to settle.
