Our services

Been injured? We can help.

We help people injured at work, on the road, in public places or through medical negligence. If someone else's actions (or inaction) have affected your ability to work or live your life, we can help you understand your options.

No win, no fee

We offer free initial consultations with no obligation to proceed. If we take on your case, it's always on a no win, no fee basis, giving you peace of mind.

You may be entitled to compensation if you've been injured at work, whether from an accident or a long-term issue like strain or hearing loss.

This could include weekly payments, medical and rehab costs, and lump sum payments for permanent injury. We'll help you understand what you're entitled to and guide you through the process, from the initial claim to conciliation and beyond, if needed. It costs nothing to chat with us and find out where you stand.

Get in touch

Injured in a road or transport accident? You may be able to make a TAC claim for things like medical expenses, loss of income, home help or a lump sum if the injury is permanent. If someone else was at fault, you might also have a right to sue for damages. These claims are time-sensitive, so it's essential to get advice early. We're here to explain your options and help you move forward.

Not all injuries happen at work or on the road. You may have a claim if you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence at a public place, on private property or due to a professional’s conduct.

These claims can be more complex, so getting clear advice is essential. If we believe you have a case, we’ll explain your rights and outline the following steps (and we only charge legal fees if you get compensation).

Get in touch

You may be entitled to medical negligence compensation if you have suffered an injury or illness caused by the negligence of a medical practitioner (your GP or a specialist), dentist, physiotherapist, a hospital or any other health related service provider.

Sharon Waddell

There are so many personal injury lawyers out there, where do you even start? A family member high up in the legal community recommended Peninsula Injury Lawyers and I’m so glad I made the right choice!

I had the pleasure of working with Morgan, Penny, Olivia and the team at Peninsula Injury Lawyers for my personal injury claim and I cannot recommend them highly enough for their help and support throughout the claim process.

From the initial consultation I found Morgan to be friendly, compassionate and responsive in working to get the best outcome for me during a challenging time. She kept me up to date throughout the process and was very understanding and empathetic. I was stoked with the final resolution of my case, testament to the team’s professionalism and expert legal knowledge.

I would not hesitate to engage Peninsula Injury Lawyers to anyone needing a great legal team and can’t thank
them enough.

So grateful to Morgan and the entire team for their exceptional work, they were wonderful.

Peninsula Injury Lawyers are professional, thorough, and advocative as they step you through the process of injury compensation. I had complete trust and confidence that I was being advised with honesty and transparency. I always felt my best interests were represented and Penny's knowledge and expertise is outstanding. I would have no hesitation in recommending PIL to anyone requiring or enquiring about representation.

I would sincerely like to thank Hamish and Narelle for helping and supporting me with my workplace injury claim. I felt supported and validated throughout the process.

Through their hard work, they secured an amazing settlement for me. The matter was handled promptly, and they took an immense amount of stress out of the process.

I can’t thank Hamish, Narelle and the Polaris team enough for their hard work and expertise.

FAQs

Have questions? Start here.

If you've been injured and it wasn't your fault, it's worth speaking to a lawyer. We'll listen to what happened, explain your options, and let you know if you have a potential claim. There's no charge for this first chat and no pressure to continue if you don't want to.
Yes. If you're not happy with your current lawyer or want a second opinion, we can help. We'll review your case and let you know what's involved in transferring it to us. It's usually straightforward.
There are time limits for making a claim, but they vary depending on the situation. Even if your injury happened months (or years) ago, it's still worth getting in touch; we'll let you know what's possible.
Yes. You don't have to be off work or seriously injured to have a valid claim. If your injury has caused you pain, needed treatment, or affected your day-to-day life (even in small ways), it's worth checking your options.
You might still be entitled to compensation. In many cases, the law allows for shared responsibility, so even if you think you did something wrong, it's worth chatting with us before ruling anything out.
Yes, especially if you're supporting a family member, someone with a disability, or someone who's just overwhelmed. We're happy to talk with carers, partners or support people if that's easier.
It means precisely that. If your case is strong and we recommend going ahead, we won't charge you legal fees unless you receive compensation. Before you sign anything, we'll explain any other possible costs (like medical reports) upfront.
Bring anything you have: letters, certificates, photos, medical reports, or notes you've made. If you don't have anything yet, that's okay too. The first meeting is about hearing your story and pointing you in the right direction.
Not always. Most injury claims are settled through negotiation or mediation without going to court. If your case does end up in court, we'll guide you through the process and support you at every step.
It depends on your injury and how it's affected your life, including things like time off work, medical treatment and long-term impact. We'll discuss this with you and give you an idea of what you might be entitled to once we know more.
It depends on your case. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others can take longer, especially if your injuries are ongoing or the other side disputes liability. We'll give you a clearer idea once we've looked at your situation, and we'll keep you updated every step of the way.
