Man Sitting on Road After Car Accident

A car accident injury claim provides financial relief when you’ve been injured and had time off work and unplanned expenses.

But your injuries may have led to other health issues and complications. For example, a knee injury can cause a limp, leading to a back injury.

We’ll match you with a specialist car accident lawyer, build a personal relationship with you and your family, and look beyond your obvious injuries to claim everything you’re entitled to. This can make a big difference to the amount of compensation you receive.

We’ll explain how we can claim all your compensation and give you our ‘no win no fee’ guarantee. The choice to proceed is yours.


Frequently asked questions.

A no win no fee lawyer offers to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.

You have one year from the date of the accident or the date when your injury first manifests itself to submit your claim.

However, the TAC may also accept your claim if it’s made within three years of the accident or the date when the injury first manifests itself, and you have reasonable grounds for the delay in making your claim.

In Victoria, there are three ways you may be able to claim a lump sum payout following a car accident:

  1. If you weren’t at fault in the accident, you may be entitled to common law compensation lump sums for loss of past and future earnings, and pain and suffering.
  2. If you have an impairment assessed at 11% or more you may be entitled to a permanent impairment lump sum.
  3. If you can’t return to work following your accident, you may be eligible for a TPD lump sum through your super fund.

You can call 13 15 15 to speak to a specialist car accident lawyer and get free advice on your entitlement to a lump sum payout.

She was very generous with her time and was always caring and compassionate. And she really strived to get us the end result we desired and had thought was near impossible. She and Law Partners renewed our faith in the Legal System and humanity in general. Thank you Ajla.

Dealing with law partners has been a pleasure. I asked them if I had a TPD claim and we went through the process and they found an Income Protection claim in the process and as professional as they are they were both approved. Now my standard of living has improved for many years to come and I could not recommend Katelyn and Sia enough. I am one very happy client 5 star performance thank you!
