Do You Live In Malaga And Need Assistance With Your Personal Injury Claim

When making a personal injury claim, it must be navigated carefully to get the full compensation you deserve. Often, we see people making a claim turned down because of a clause they failed to notice or an error they made when filing. After all, not everyone is expected to understand accurately the legal jargon or technical nitty-gritty involved in insurance deeds. This is where a personal injury lawyer can help you with their knowledge and guide you in the right direction.

Moreover, every situation is different. In some cases, the accident and injury can be more complicated than you think. You might be entitled to greater compensation than you are claiming. This is where a lawyer can help you make the right choices and get you the maximum compensation payout. Trewin Norman & Co. has some of the finest personal injury lawyers to help you get through those trying times smoothly.

Worker's Compensation WorkCover Claims

Contrary to popular belief, workplace injuries are not limited to hazardous locations only. It can happen even in an upscale office if there is negligence involved. Whatever the case may be, if you have been injured at your work site and it is due to the fault of your employers, you would definitely want to claim worker’s compensation for the incident.

But, as you may have already guessed, both your employer and the WorkCover agents would contest your claim to try to get out of paying you what you deserve for going through all that.

Maximise Your Compensation Payouts

There is a very specific procedure that you must follow for making your compensation claim. It requires taking certain steps in a certain order to ensure success. These steps are:

Step 1: Submit Personal Injury Compensation Claim



The golden rule for personal injury compensation claims is that they should be filed as soon as possible, preferably immediately. This is because a late claim can be contested with the argument that the injury happened later and was obtained due to a different cause. To prevent such a situation, it is best for either you or your personal injury lawyer in Malaga to file a claim as soon as you can. Once that has been done, you can start taking legal action at any time within the deadline provided. The deadline is usually 3 years in most cases like public liability claims, motor vehicle accident claims, worker’s compensation claims and medical negligence claims.

Step 2: Inform the Defendant

Your next job is to let the other party know of your intention to file a claim. Who needs to be informed depends on the type of claim you are making. For example, in the case of a worker’s compensation claim, both WorkCover WA and your employer need to be informed of your intention to take legal action. In case of a motor vehicle accident, you need to inform the Insurance Commission of Western Australia or ICWA which deals with vehicle insurance while in the case of public liability cases, you only need to inform the party you are making the claim against.

Step 3: Gather Evidence for the Claim

Evidence is of paramount importance no matter what kind of legal case you are fighting and that includes personal injury claims. First of all, ensure that you safely maintain all the medical reports and bills from your treatment. Obtain documentation for the time you missed work or other responsibilities due to the accident. Also, if possible, gather photographic and videographic evidence of the accident to bolster your claim.

Step 4: Attend the Settlement Conference

A settlement conference or pre-arbitration conference (in the case of worker’s compensation) is held before the case goes to trial or the arbitration conference. This is a great way to settle the case without requiring legal proceedings. If both parties can come to an agreement and you believe the settlement is fair, the case can be ended right at this step. But if that is not the case, the case will go to trial.

Step 5: Go to Trial

If the case could not be resolved during the negotiations, then it will go to trial. You will have to present your evidence as well as any witness that you may have. Even though it is not mandatory to have legal help at this stage, it is always advantageous to hire a lawyer. They will know the tricks that defendants use to try to get out of paying and will have the right counter against it.

Our personal injury lawyers in Malaga can help you every step of the way and ensure your victory in the personal injury settlement claim you are making.
