Melinda is one of the Illawarra’s leading lawyers, specialising in personal injury.

When someone fails to take reasonable care and that failure causes injury, the law recognises that they may be held responsible.

Negligence claims are about ensuring accountability and helping injured people recover compensation for medical costs, lost income, and the broader impact on their lives.

At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we carefully assess whether negligence has occurred and work to ensure responsible parties are held accountable.

After an accident, insurers may contact you quickly and ask for a statement. While it may seem routine, anything you say can later be used to challenge or reduce your claim.

This includes details about how the accident happened, your injuries, or your recovery.

Before giving any statement or signing any documents, it is important to seek legal advice to ensure your rights are protected.

At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we guide clients on how to communicate safely with insurers and help prevent costly mistakes.

In NSW, medical negligence claims are subject to strict time limits. In most cases, you generally have 3 years from the date you became aware (or ought to have become aware) of the injury and its cause to commence legal proceedings.

There is also an absolute long-stop limitation period (up to 12 years from the date of the negligent act or omission), regardless of when the injury was discovered.

These time limits are complex, and exceptions may apply in certain circumstances, however, courts apply them strictly.

At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we help clients understand whether they are still within time to bring a claim and ensure important deadlines are not missed.

Many people assume that signing a waiver automatically prevents them from making a personal injury claim. However, that is not always the case.

In some situations, a waiver may not protect a business or organisation from liability, especially where negligence, unsafe conditions, or failure to take reasonable care is involved.

Don’t assume you have no claim, seek expert legal advice first.
At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we assess the circumstances of your injury and help you understand your legal rights and options.

Gaps in medical treatment or inconsistent records can weaken your personal injury claim and potentially reduce your settlement value.

Regular treatment and accurate documentation help demonstrate:
✔ The seriousness of your injuries
✔ The impact on your daily life
✔ The ongoing need for medical care

At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we help clients understand the importance of proper documentation and strong evidence throughout the claims process.

If your injury was caused by another person’s failure to take reasonable care, and you suffered physical, financial, or psychological damages as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.

Personal injury claims can help cover medical expenses, lost income, and the broader impact of your injury on your life.

At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we assess your situation and guide you through your legal options with clarity and care.

What you do immediately after a car accident can significantly affect your personal injury claim. Avoid these common mistakes:

1️⃣ Not calling the police - An official report can be crucial evidence.
2️⃣ Admitting fault - Even casual comments may be used against you later.
3️⃣ Delaying medical attention - Prompt treatment helps protect both your health and your claim.

At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we help clients avoid costly mistakes and protect their rights after an accident.

Many people assume the first offer from an insurance company is the best they can get.

In reality, early offers may not fully account for:
▪️ Ongoing medical treatment
▪️ Future loss of income
▪️ Rehabilitation costs
▪️ Long-term physical or psychological impacts

Accepting too quickly could mean settling for less than you may be entitled to. Before accepting any offer, seek expert legal advice from Melinda Griffiths Lawyers to protect your rights.
