Understanding Your Entitlement to Compensation

Compensation law provides financial support to those harmed due to negligence or the actions of others. Injuries that lead to compensation claims vary widely. Therefore, it’s important to understand your rights and the process.

Types of Compensation Claims We Handle

Our team assists clients with various compensation claims, including:



Accidents

We help people involved in road accidents, workplace incidents, and other unexpected events. Our team supports you through the claims process and secures the financial assistance you need.



Personal Injury

If another party’s actions have caused you physical or psychological harm, we guide you through the legal steps to seek fair compensation.



Motor Vehicle Accidents

Whether injured in a car, motorcycle, truck, or pedestrian accident, our compensation lawyers help you pursue entitlements for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation and pain and suffering



Negligence

If someone failed to take reasonable care or breached their duty of care which caused your injury or loss, you may claim compensation under negligence laws. We assess your case and recommend the best course of action.



Loss of a Loved One

The loss of a loved one due to negligence is devastating. We assist with dependency claims to ensure your family receives the financial support it needs.



Public Liability

If you slipped, tripped, or fell in public or private places such as supermarkets, shopping centers, footpaths, or private properties, you might be eligible to claim public liability compensation. We evaluate your eligibility and guide you through the claim process.



Medical Negligence

When medical care falls below accepted standards—such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or inadequate treatment—you may seek compensation. We assist in these complex claims.

Compensation FAQs

What does “No Win, No Fee” mean?

You won’t be charged legal fees unless your claim succeeds and you receive compensation. This reduces your financial risk.

How long do I have to make a compensation claim?

Time limits vary depending on your claim type and circumstances. Seek legal advice promptly to avoid missing deadlines.

What can compensation cover?

Compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income (past and future), pain and suffering, care costs, and loss of earning capacity.

Will my claim go to court?

Not always. Many claims resolve through negotiation, mediation, or other dispute resolution methods. We work to achieve the best result with minimal stress.

What’s the first step to starting a claim?

Contact our team for a no-obligation discussion. We will listen to your story, assess your case, and explain your legal options.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I want to thank your Company and in particular Cassandra Keogh for taking over my Family Law matter. Cassandra’s compassion along with her knowledge and expertise constantly helped put me at ease in finally settling my very messy matter. I would like to thank her for all the help she has given me and would highly recommend her to any future clients.

Pauline Horkings

Dear Sean,

Thank you for taking on my matter and managing it so well. I always felt you had my back and worked hard on my behalf.

I remain very impressed by the team and support staff you lead and can and will recommend your services.

Thank you again for your support and advice along the way.

Fondest regards,

B G

Dear Guy,

I am writing on behalf of the FNCRU Board to thank yourself and your organisation for your continued assistance in the conduct of the Board’s Judiciary meetings, in particular, in the usage of a venue for the conduct of such.

Support such as your own and that of your organisation is essential in the conduct of the business of the zone.

I would particularly commend the efforts of Cassie at our recent meeting last evening, my first in the capacity of a member of a judiciary panel in FNC.

Cassie’s input was not only reflective of your group’s support for FNCRU, but also reflective of your seriousness in support of the process in selecting someone with Cassie’s obvious knowledge of both sport and due process in such matters.

Yours in Rugby,

Jeffrey Brookes, For and on behalf of FNCRU Board FNCRU Board

We have been a client of this law business since the late 1990’s. We always get exemplary service from Guy Latham our solicitor. He has assisted us over the years with Agency agreements in business, with conveyancing on the sale and purchase of 4 properties and with Wills and other issues. Great service always.

Russell Lean

I just wanted to send through a big thank you to the team at Somerville, Laundry and Lomax for all the professional support throughout my compensation process. For me it was not an easy process to go through, being very personal and over 3 years in length. However, when I connected with SLL about 18 months ago the process did become a whole lot easy as I soon became aware that I had the right support.

I particularly want to commend Nathan Job to you (who you originally introduced me to). It is my opinion that Nathan went above the scope of what was required of him professionally and I really felt personally taken care of by Nathan, which would be why I would recommend your firm in the future. He is a very genuine guy who instilled confidence in me throughout the entire process and who always gave honest and wise feedback about the various scenarios we were facing, while allowing me to make all the decisions.

Thank you again and much appreciated.

Carolyn

A huge thank you to Ben Crawford and Sue for the outstanding effort that was required to resolve my Family Court matters.

Your patience and excellent advice have been greatly appreciated throughout this long, unfortunate process and it is wonderful that finally the desired outcome has been realised.

KJ

I had a great experience with Somerville Laundry Lomax Solicitors. They were helpful, efficient, and kept clear communication throughout, settling my claim quickly. Special thanks to Izaac and Elizabeth for being so friendly and supportive. I’d definitely use their services again if needed. Highly recommend!
