Injury Compensation Lawyers for Western Sydney & NSW
Being injured in an accident — at work, on the road, or out in public — can turn your life upside down. On top of pain and recovery, you may be facing time off work, mounting bills and an insurer asking difficult questions. You don't have to manage all of that on your own. Crown Attorneys' personal injury lawyers act from our office in the heart of Parramatta for injured workers and accident victims right across Western Sydney and the whole of New South Wales, guiding you through every step with care, clarity and confidence so you can focus on getting better.
We handle compensation claims from start to finish — explaining your rights, gathering the medical and other evidence needed to support your claim, dealing with insurers on your behalf, and pursuing the full compensation you are entitled to. Many personal injury matters are accepted on a no win, no fee basis, and the terms of any such arrangement are explained in a clear costs agreement before we start, so you understand how fees work from the outset.
Our Injury Compensation Services
Personal injury law in NSW covers several different schemes, each with its own rules, forms and deadlines. Our team advises across all of the main areas:
- Motor Accident & CTP Claims: Compensation for drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians injured in a car or truck accident, handled through the NSW compulsory third party (CTP) scheme.
- Workers Compensation: Support for workers injured on the job — physical injuries, psychological injuries and illnesses — including weekly payments, medical expenses and lump-sum entitlements.
- Public Liability: Slip and fall accidents, injuries in shops, shopping centres, parks and other public places where someone else's negligence caused your harm.
- Medical Negligence: Claims arising from substandard care, surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis that has caused avoidable injury.
- TPD & Superannuation Claims: Total and permanent disability (TPD) claims through your superannuation fund or insurer when an injury or illness stops you working.
- Work Injury Damages: Common-law damages claims against a negligent employer for seriously injured workers who meet the threshold.
How NSW Injury Compensation Schemes Work
In New South Wales, the motor accident and workers compensation schemes are regulated by the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA), which sets the rules for how claims are made and how much compensation is available. When a dispute arises — for example, about your entitlements, the degree of your injury, or whether a claim should be accepted — many of these matters are resolved by the Personal Injury Commission, an independent tribunal that handles both motor accident and workers compensation disputes. We are familiar with how these schemes and the Commission operate, and we present your claim in the way most likely to achieve a fair result.
How an Injury Compensation Claim Works
Every claim is different, but most follow a similar path. Knowing the stages ahead of time helps you feel more in control of the process:
- Free assessment of your claim. We listen to what happened, explain whether you have a claim and which scheme applies, and check the time limits that affect your situation.
- Gathering evidence. We collect the medical reports, records, witness accounts and other evidence needed to prove how the injury happened and how it has affected you.
- Lodging the claim. We prepare and lodge your claim with the relevant insurer or scheme — whether that is a CTP insurer, a workers compensation insurer or a superannuation fund — and manage the correspondence on your behalf.
- Negotiation or resolution. We negotiate with the insurer to reach a fair settlement and, where agreement cannot be reached, take the matter to the Personal Injury Commission or the appropriate court.
Time Limits — Why Early Advice Matters
Strict time limits apply to injury claims in NSW, and some schemes have early notification requirements — motor accident and workers compensation claims, in particular, should be reported promptly after an accident. If you wait too long, you can lose the right to claim altogether. Because the deadlines and notification rules differ from scheme to scheme, the safest approach is to get advice early. Even if you are not sure whether you have a claim, an early conversation costs you nothing and helps protect your rights while the events are still fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on a no win, no fee basis?
Yes — we offer no win, no fee arrangements for many personal injury claims. This means that, in qualifying matters, you generally won't pay our professional fees unless your claim is successful. The exact terms are explained in a clear costs agreement before any work begins, so you understand how fees and any disbursements work from the start.
Is there a time limit to make a claim?
Yes. Strict time limits apply to injury claims in NSW, and some schemes — including motor accident and workers compensation — have early notification requirements after an accident. The deadlines differ depending on the type of claim, so the safest approach is to get advice early. Contact us as soon as you can so we can protect your rights.
What can I claim after a motor accident?
Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for medical and treatment expenses, loss of income, and, in more serious cases, lump-sum compensation for your injuries. Motor accident claims are made through the NSW CTP scheme regulated by SIRA. We assess your situation and explain what you can realistically claim.
Can I claim workers compensation?
If you have been injured or become ill because of your work, you may be entitled to workers compensation — which can include weekly payments, medical expenses and lump-sum entitlements. Seriously injured workers may also have a separate work injury damages claim against a negligent employer. We can advise on both and report your injury promptly.
How long does a compensation claim take?
It depends on the type of claim, the severity of your injury and whether the insurer accepts liability. Straightforward matters can resolve relatively quickly, while disputed or more serious claims take longer, particularly if they proceed to the Personal Injury Commission. We keep you informed at each stage and work to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Costs depend on the type and complexity of your claim. Because many personal injury matters are run on a no win, no fee basis, you often won't pay our professional fees unless your claim succeeds. We always provide a clear costs agreement up front, so you understand the fee arrangement before we begin.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes. We offer a confidential, no-obligation initial consultation so you can explain what happened and understand your options before deciding how to proceed. You can reach us on 1800 018 018 or at info@crownattorneys.com.
