Do You Live in Ballajura and Need Assistance with Your Personal Injury Claim
When making a personal injury claim, many turns must be navigated carefully to get the full compensation you deserve. All too 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, civilians aren’t 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
Several aspects must be ensured when making a claim for a workplace injury. Your workplace may deny responsibility, the insurance doctor might try to downplay your injury and your insurer might try to weasel their way out of paying you.
Our personal injury lawyers can ensure that you get the right compensation for workplace hazards or negligence, that your medical and rehabilitation bills are covered and you are paid for missing work days if any.
Other Negligence-Related Accident Injury Claims
Negligence can be difficult to prove if you do not have an experienced lawyer at your side. The responsible party might try to refuse responsibility or shift blame. Your insurer too might try to get out of paying you. But you can protect yourself against such harassment by hiring a personal injury lawyer in Ballajura from Trewin Norman.
We make sure your claim goes through and you get compensated for all medical bills, loss of pay at work, any present or future expenses incurred due to bodily injury and property damage as well as for the emotional and physical distress caused.
How can Trewin Norman help maximise your Compensation payouts?
When dealing with legal matters, everything needs to be done systematically. If you have sustained injuries as a result of someone’s negligence or in an accident due to someone else’s fault, you need to get immediate medical help and report the incident as soon as possible.
You need to make it to every medical appointment and keep all your medical records safely. You also need to keep track of all the medical expenses that you have incurred as a result of the injuries.
Most importantly, you need to wait till all your wounds stabilise before accepting any kind of settlement offer from the other party. There are chances that the wounds may get worse over time in which case, an early settlement would not be fair compensation for your injuries.

Types of Personal Injury Claims We Can Assist You with
- Motor Vehicle Accidents – If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident caused mostly due to the actions of a third party, you will be eligible to make a vehicle accident claim under the Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Act. Our lawyers will verify your eligibility to make a claim; once that is proved, we will help you lodge the claim and receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
- Workers' Compensation – Have you experienced a workplace injury and believe it is due to the negligence of your employers or the insufficient or incorrect application of workplace safety measures? You can make a workers’ compensation claim. Our lawyers will help prove your claim and ensure that you get compensated for injuries suffered.
- Criminal Injury Compensation – If you have been a victim of a crime, you might be eligible to claim compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 2003. With the right procedures, we can help you make a claim to cover any financial, physical or psychological damages experienced.
- Public Liability Claims – In cases where your injury has occurred due to an accident on public property premises due to the negligence of the manager or owner of said property, you can claim compensation under a public liability insurance policy. Our lawyers will ensure that the guilty party takes responsibility and the insurer pays you the right amount of compensation.
- Super/TPD Claims – For total permanent disability, you can make a claim to withdraw your super. However, different superannuation deeds have different definitions for TPD which can cause confusion and lead to the refusal of payout. Our personal injury lawyers at Ballajura can help you understand what coverage you have and submit your claim accordingly.
- Dog Bites – Injuries due to dog attacks or damage to your property caused by a dog can be suitable grounds for claiming compensation. In accordance with the Dog Act 1976, we can help you make a claim for medical treatments and loss of income due to personal injury as well as property damages.
Compensation Claim Process
When you have decided to make a compensation claim, there is a specific order of actions you must take to go through with the process. These steps are laid down below:
Step 1: Inform the Defendant Party
The first step is to inform the involved parties, i.e. the person at fault and their insurance company for the agent of injury, that you are going to lodge a claim. For example, in a motor accident, you must inform the owner or driver of the vehicle and their insurance company. For a workplace incident, you need to let WorkCover WA and your employer know.
Step 2: Gather Evidence
You must collect evidence of the accident for the ensuing investigation. This includes all medical reports and bills and, wherever possible, photographic or video evidence of the incident itself. This helps solidify the basis of your claim.
Step 3: Try to Solve the Claim in a Settlement Conference
Most insurance claims can be and are settled outside court. This can be done at a settlement conference, a pre-trial or pre-arbitration (for no-fault workers’ compensation) conference or through a written order. If a satisfactory solution cannot be reached, the case will go to trial.
Step 4: Go to Trial
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will go to court. There, the judge will hear both sides, look at the evidence and pass a judgement. You can be sure that even if the guilty party does not hire a lawyer, the insurance company will be supported by a board of insurance lawyers. So, it is best to have a personal injury lawyer for a greater chance of victory.
For the highest chance to have your claim accepted and receive maximum compensation, Trewin Norman & Co provides experienced personal injury lawyers service in Ballajura.
