Do You Live in Joondalup and Need Assistance with Your Personal Injury Claim
Recovering the personal injury claim can sometimes get difficult causing mental stress and financial strain. The difficult-to-comprehend legal clauses add to the pressure during challenging times.

Worker's Compensation WorkCover Claims
If the personal injury has occurred at your workplace or when you were on official duty in or out of the workplace, you ideally should be receiving the compensation amount. However, in cases where the employer denies any security lapse or cites there was no workplace safety issue or if the WorkCover agent refutes and tries to challenge your claim, contacting our trusted
personal injury lawyer can help in negotiations and recovery of the claims you truly deserve. We are here for you and will not give in to any incorrect reports from the opposite side.
Other Negligence-Related Accident Injury Claims

Our experienced and strong team does not cave in to such arguments and fights to get you the claim amount that you deserve.
In most instances, you may not be aware of what qualifies as negligence and the opposite side takes advantage of the loopholes.

Types of Personal Injury Claims We Can Assist You with
Trewin Norman can help you recover the compensation money for various types of personal injury claims. Here is more information for your reference.
- Workers’ Compensation
Any employer is liable to provide a safe working environment for all the staff. However in case there is any personal injury at the workplace, based on the type and severity of the injury, you should be ideally provided with workers’ compensation. In such a scenario where the employer refuses to pay the compensation citing there was no lapse from the company, you need to raise a claim. A personal injury lawyer can help you with the claim and negotiate for the recovery amount you deserve.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you have met with a motor vehicle accident due to negligence or rash driving from the other side and are having difficulty claiming the insurance compensation, do not worry. We can assist you in receiving the maximum compensation that is due to you. Our team can help you in claiming medical and treatment expenses for pain and suffering and loss of income to rehabilitation assistance based on your need and the severity of the injury. Call us and our team can assist with the details.
- Public Liability Claims
If you met with an injury in any public place because of the negligence of any person who is responsible for the premises, you can claim compensation for the same. We can help you with the entire procedure right from collecting evidence to substantiating the claim, documentation and filing. Our lawyers will assess the situation closely and discuss the odds of winning the public liability claim. We are transparent about communicating the prospects of success in pursuing a case.
- Criminal Injury Compensation
If you are a victim of any criminal incident, you may be eligible for compensation. The claims are assessed at the office of Criminal Injuries Compensation. Police and hospital records will be assessed thoroughly to verify the authenticity and severity of the injury. After a thorough investigation, it will be decided whether to approve the claim or not. You can file an appeal within 21 days if you feel you did not get justice. Trewin Norman can assist you with the entire procedure to get it right the first time.
- Super/TPD Claims
In an event of you being unable to work due to illness, injury or disability, you may be able to gain early access to your superannuation fund. As every superannuation policy is different, you need to closely understand the clauses mentioned in yours before proceeding to claim for Total and Permanent Disablement(TPD). We can help you understand the details of your policy and assist in getting the superannuation amount if your claim is justified.
- Dog Bites
If you have been attacked and injured by a dog due to the negligence of the owner, you can claim compensation. You can claim for medical costs, loss of earnings due to injury and loss of support(in case of death). Apart from physical injuries, we can assist in claiming compensation for any damage caused to the property by the dog. Consult our lawyers to understand the prospects of success in cases of dog bite injury.
Compensation Claim Process
There are certain procedures to be followed while registering a claim for compensation in personal injury cases. Here they are--
- Step 1—Inform the Defendant and their Insurer
Before proceeding to file the claim, you should keep the defendant as well as the insurer informed about the same. For workplace injuries, these are your employer and the WorkCover agent. Similarly, for motor vehicle accidents it will be the vehicle driver and ICWA.
- Step 2—Collect Proof to Substantiate your Claims
Any medical bill and report, photos and videos of the incident and statements from authorities and witnesses help a lot in strengthening your case for authenticity. Any relevant police and phone records also help especially in criminal injury compensation.
- Step 3—Try to Resolve in a Settlement Conference
It is advisable in most cases to get resolutions in a settlement conference, a pre-trial or pre-arbitration. This saves time and effort and helps in getting the compensation amount at the earliest. Most of the claims have a record of settling this way.
- Step 4—Begin the Court Trial
The case will go to court when there is no satisfactory resolution in a pre-trial settlement. Based on the evidence presented and statements of both sides, the judge will decide the outcome. The insurance company will have their lawyers and even the defendant in most cases.
Our team at Trewin Norman & Co helps you at every step and strives to get the maximum compensation you truly deserve.
