Compensation Law Lithgow & Blue Mountains
Legal expertise when you have been impacted by loss, injury or damages
Compensation law allows people who have suffered injury, loss or damage to seek financial compensation. In NSW, compensation claims commonly arise from workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and other personal injury circumstances. These claims are governed by different legal schemes, each with strict rules and time limits.

Workers Compensation
Workers compensation provides support to employees who suffer injury or illness arising out of, or in the course of, their employment. Entitlements may include weekly payments, medical and treatment expenses, lump sum compensation and, in some cases, work injury damages. We assist injured workers to navigate the NSW workers compensation system.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation under the NSW Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme. Claims may include medical expenses, income support and lump sum compensation. Strict notification and claim timeframes apply.
Personal Injury
Personal injury claims may arise where a person suffers injury due to the negligence of another, outside of workers compensation or motor accident schemes. These matters can include public liability and other negligence‑based claims. We assess liability and advise on prospects of recovery.
