What areas of law can BPC Lawyers help with?

BPC Lawyers can help you in all matters relating to personal injury law. More specifically, BPC Lawyers can assist you in all compensation claims relating to work accidents, road accidents, public place accidents and medical negligence.

If you or a family member or friend have suffered injury in one of these circumstances, contact our Best Personal Injury Lawyers Sydney for expert legal help today.

How much is my case worth?

The amount of compensation you may be eligible for depends on several factors, including the nature and extent of your injury, any impairment or disability it causes, as well as its effect on your capacity to work and earn income.

Workers’ compensation benefits in New South Wales can include weekly payments, medical expenses and lump-sum payouts for permanent impairment or pain and suffering. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the specifics of your claim.

It’s essential to be aware that the New South Wales workers’ compensation system can be complex, making navigating it an intimidating exercise. Talk to one of our compensation lawyers at BPC to guarantee your claim is handled correctly and you receive all compensation to which you are entitled.

Do time limits apply to compensation matters in New South Wales?

When making a compensation claim in New South Wales, the time limits vary based on the type of claim you submit. In general, these include:

Workers’ Compensation Claims: In order to file a workers’ compensation claim, you must notify your employer within 30 days and lodge your claim within 6 months from when you were injured or ill. In certain circumstances, however, an exception may apply and claims can still be submitted outside these time limits.

Motor vehicle accident Claims: If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you must file your claim with the relevant CTP insurer within six months of the date of the incident. However, in certain circumstances you may still be eligible to make a claim outside this time limit.

Public liability Claims: If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you must file your claim within three years of the date of the injury.

It is essential to be aware that time limits for claims are strict and failure to adhere to them may result in your claim being rejected. While it may still be possible to submit a claim outside these dates, doing so may prove more challenging.

Why Choose Personal Injury Lawyers Sydney?

Choosing Personal Injury Lawyers in Sydney is essential for their expertise, experience, and dedication in pursuing compensation for your injuries. Their local knowledge ensures the best legal support.

How long does a compensation claim take?

The duration of a compensation claim in Australia varies widely, from several months to a few years, depending on factors like complexity, negotiations, and court proceedings. Book a free, no-obligation consultation with our Personal Injury Lawyers Sydney, today. 

What is the time limit for personal injury claims?

In Australia, the time limit for personal injury claims generally ranges from 3 to 6 years, depending on the specific circumstances and the state or territory in which the claim is made. For more information, contact our Personal Injury Lawyers Sydney.

“I can highly recommend Scott at Beilby Poulden Costello for your legal matters. I found Scott to be easy to talk to and a decent guy with my best interest at heart.

“I highly recommend BPC Lawyers not only for their professionalism, dedication and great client communication, but I truly praise them (Courtenay, in particular) for their down-to-earth, sincere, client-centric approach, for always giving us hope and for keeping us regularly updated on case progress, even when the win seemed all obscure and unlikely, going against such a powerful business giant that we went after. I applaud their persistence, passion and drive and their professional handling of our complex case that ultimately led to a successful outcome. Not all lawyers are liars, some are true warriors! Once again - highly recommend.”

“I have no hesitation in recommending BPC Lawyers for assistance in seeking compensation from thoughtless and negligent travel companies. Our experience over a trip to the Antarctic, which should have been cancelled by the travel company, due to the Covid pandemic, resulted in permanent life-threatening medical problems for my wife. Protracted obstruction by the defendants, including changing lawyers well into the proceedings, turned the ordeal into a four year marathon! BPC Lawyers, led by Kate Henderson, were persistent, relentless and professional. Her assistants were likewise friendly and helpful, especially Lynn Vaughan who was always patient, compassionate and understanding in her position as "front-of-house". Mere thanks are insufficient for all the advice, assistance and encouragement we received from this legal team. We owe them our sanity!”

“Scott Hall-Johnston took care of my CTP claim. Right from the start I found him to be very straightforward, transparent and able to communicate difficult things in a simple and easy to understand manner. This was very important to me as he was the third lawyer I transferred my case to. Initially I wasn't well enough to research a good lawyer and I had two negative experiences. Scott took my case on even though I came towards the end of my claim with a 'four foot high file'. He focused on what was important, was highly experienced, professional and very trustworthy. Going through this claim process is not easy but I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a straightforward experience and a good outcome - which is what I got. Couldn't be happier.”

I found Nida to be polite, informative, empathetic and highly professional throughout the claim process. Additionally, Nida kept me up to date, fully informed and was focussed on obtaining the correct outcome for her client.
