If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, you need to know that you are in capable hands. Choosing the right personal injury lawyer can make a huge difference in securing the compensation you deserve while navigating a challenging time in your life. But what makes a lawyer the best choice for you?
This guide will help you identify the best personal injury lawyers for your case in Victoria and why Carbone Lawyers is a trusted choice for many Australians seeking experienced legal representation.
What Makes the Best Personal Injury Lawyer
The best personal injury lawyers stand out for their experienceand track record. When evaluating lawyers, here are key qualities to consider:
Results matter. Look for lawyers with a solid history of winning cases like yours. Our team has recovered over $100 million in compensation for injury victims. Led by our personal injury specialist John Karantzis, who has more than 20 years of experience, we have succeeded in over 90% of our personal injury cases.
A great personal injury lawyer has specific expertise in the kind of case you are facing. In Victoria, transport accidents are handled under the Transport Accident Act 1986 (Vic), while workplace injuries are covered by the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2013 (Vic) and not every lawyer will have experience with your type of case.
Personal injury cases also require a lawyer who will advocate for you and treat you as an equal partner in the process. The best lawyers understand the full impact of an injury—physical, financial, and emotional—and fight to ensure clients are fully compensated. At Carbone Lawyers, we listen, we understand, and we support our clients throughout the process.
Our Successful Cases
Carbone Lawyers stands behind our work, and our successful case outcomes speak for themselves. Here are just a few of our recent successful case files:
- $650,000 for Workplace Slip – A security guard slipped on a wet floor that was being cleaned without any warning signage. This incident led to both physical and psychiatric injuries, necessitating spinal surgery. Carbone Lawyers secured a $650,000 out-of-court settlement for the worker, covering pain, suffering, and both past and future loss of earnings. This outcome provided financial stability for the client as he worked towards recovery.
- $850,000 TAC Settlement for Injured Passenger – A 24-year-old woman was injured while riding as a passenger in a car driven by her unlicensed partner. Another vehicle failed to give way, resulting in a side-on collision. The client sustained 28 injuries, both physical and psychological, that required extensive medical care. The initial TAC offer was insufficient, but we successfully negotiated an increased settlement of $850,000 within two months of initiating proceedings. This amount was awarded for pain and suffering, as well as future loss of earnings, giving the client the support she needed to move forward with her life.
- Nearly $800,000 for Overworked Tradie – A concrete pump worker suffered spine and arm injuries after being overworked for an extended period. Despite repeated complaints, his employer took no action to address his concerns. Carbone Lawyers fought hard for the worker, securing a substantial settlement equivalent to a jury verdict of nearly $800,000. In addition to compensation for pain, suffering, and lost earnings, the worker was able to retain previous weekly compensation payments received from WorkCover.
