Millner and Knights panel of winning personal injury lawyers acting in Midland can provide you with free advice and immediate legal representation.
Making a personal injury claim in Midland
Generally, according to WA state legislation cases must commence within three years from the date of the accident. This time frame isn’t set in stone and it’s worth noting there are more than a couple of exceptions. The best way to be sure whether or not you can pursue a payout is to speak with one of our specialists.
How long does a claim take?
Most claims are going to take more than 12 months to finalise. As bad as that may sound, rest assured that if there are any immediate benefits we can help you claim, we will. In fact, we do help a large proportion of our clients receive weekly compensation so you’re in safe hands. However, that’s not to say that claims can not be settled within 12 months. Minor claims such as those regarding minor injuries with clear libility can be settled faster. Generally speaking in the simplest of terms, the more complex a case, the longer it will take to settle.
How much can I get?
There is no one size fits all solution we can use when it comes to calculating your entitlements. Factors such as the type of claim you’re eligible to make ie: common law or statutory as well as your injury and the severity, where, why when and how it happened, your age and employment status will determine your final payout.
However, some of the typical things a solicitor will consider when negotiating your entitlements will include.
- Any time off work and lost earnings
- Any future lost earnings
- Any changes in your ability to work
- Care or support, even if given to you for free by family or friends
- Any adaptations you might need to your home or vehicle
- Travel and accommodation expenses
At this stage it is difficult to provide you with an accurate estimation of what you could receive however, you can make your own assessment online, without having to call us using our online tool.
How to find the best lawyer in Midland to act for you
Although all lawyers in Midland must be admitted to practice in the supreme court, the level of skill and experience amongst legal professionals varies tremendously. Injury lawyers, like most other professionals, lawyers tend to specialise in one area. For example, corporate law, family law or even property law. However, even then, there’s a myriad of different fields within each area. So how can you find the right person? It’s simple really, find someone who specialises in claims like yours.
To find out whether or not you can claim, call us free on 1800 106 107. All calls are free, and you won’t be pressured into starting your claim with us.
Do Midland claimants have to use a local law firm?
You don’t need to choose a lawyer in with an office in Midland to handle your claim. This is because many lawyers now operate statewide out of one central office location such as Perth. Given that, it is not necessary to go with a local law firm. However, if you do choose the services of a statewide firm, it’s important to find out if they are connected with local medical centres. This is because you will be required to attend a medical to have your injuries assessed and you wouldn’t want to be travelling halfway across the state to attend.
Millner and Knight are a national claims management company with lawyers and medical centres in Midland.
