Travel and holiday accident claim process in WA

We listen and assess your existing claim confidentially

During your initial obligation-free consultation we’ll take the time to listen and understand your individual needs. We’ll then map out the next steps and explain all the options available to you.

We’ll build your claim and keep you informed

The laws around travel and holiday injury claims are complex and there are different rules depending on where and how you were injured.

Your go-to legal team will work with you to gather all the documentation and medical evidence needed to support your claim. Once our investigations are complete, we will advise you of the best way forward and how we will run your claim.

We’ll negotiate to settle your claim early

We get it – going to court is confronting and not always necessary. Our legal team will work hard to settle your claim early so going to court isn’t required. In most cases, the claim process begins with both parties getting together to discuss the resolution of a claim. This is called ‘mediation’ and most claims settle at this point.

We will conduct the negotiations on your behalf to ensure your claim is settled quickly so can you move on with your life.

If required, go to court

Only a very small percentage of claims result in a court hearing. If this happens, our legal experts have the skill and experience to guide you through the experience seamlessly.

We will ensure you’re feeling comfortable, confident and informed of the process and what’s required from start to finish.

Resolve your claim

If your claim is successful, you will receive the compensation you deserve, so you can focus on your future.
