Why Injured West Australians Choose Soul Legal

Why Mount Lawley Residents Trust Soul Legal With Their Injury Claims

Suffering an injury can turn your world upside down. Between medical appointments, mounting bills, and the stress of recovery, the last thing you need is to navigate complex legal processes alone. That is exactly why Mount Lawley locals turn to Soul Legal when they need experienced legal representation for their compensation claims.

Our Directors, Kevin Wong and Rebecca Sorgiovanni, bring more than 62 years of combined expertise in injury compensation law. Kevin commenced practice in this area back in 1991, while Rebecca has been advocating for injured West Australians since 1997. This depth of experience means we have seen virtually every type of claim scenario and know precisely how to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

What truly sets us apart is our philosophy. We did not name our firm after its founders because we believe in putting every person who walks through our doors first. At Soul Legal, you will never be just another case number. We exist to serve you, and that commitment is woven into everything we do.

Our No Win, No Fee arrangement ensures that justice remains accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. You will not pay legal fees unless we successfully resolve your claim. When we do win, the majority of legal costs are recovered from the defendant, with any gap deducted from your settlement proceeds.

No Win - No Fee*

Comprehensive Injury Compensation Services for Mount Lawley

Whether you have been hurt on the road, at work, or in a public space, our injury lawyers handle the full spectrum of compensation claims throughout Western Australia.

Motor Vehicle Accident Claims

Car crashes, truck collisions, motorcycle incidents, cycling accidents, and pedestrian injuries can leave lasting physical and emotional damage. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation under Western Australian law. Our team handles claims against the Insurance Commission of Western Australia and fights to secure payment for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.

Workers Compensation Claims

Workplace injuries and occupational illnesses deserve proper compensation. If you have been hurt on the job or while travelling between work locations, you may be eligible for income payments, medical expense coverage, rehabilitation support, and permanent impairment compensation. When employer negligence caused your serious injury, a common law claim can also be pursued for additional damages.

Public Liability Claims

Slipped on a wet floor at your local shopping centre? Tripped over uneven pavement? Injuries caused by unsafe conditions in public spaces or by defective products may entitle you to compensation from the responsible party. We hold negligent businesses, councils, and property owners accountable.

Medical Negligence Claims

When healthcare providers fail in their duty of care, the consequences can be devastating. Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and birth injuries all fall within medical negligence. Our team pursues justice for patients who have suffered due to substandard medical care.

Criminal Injury Compensation

Victims of assault, sexual abuse, or other criminal acts can seek compensation through the criminal injuries scheme. Recent legislative changes have expanded opportunities for survivors to pursue claims, including historical abuse cases from decades past.

*At Soul Legal we only charge fees in personal injury claims if you are successful settling your claim or have a successful judgment (excluding disbursements). A Defendant may be able to claim costs against you if successful in defending an action brought by you

The Soul Legal Difference: What Makes Us Stand Out

Exposed Experience That Delivers Results

With 75 plus years of combined team experience in compensation law, we have successfully secured millions of dollars for thousands of Western Australian clients. Our proven track record spans workplace accidents, road trauma, public liability incidents, and complex medical negligence cases. We know what it takes to build compelling claims and negotiate maximum settlements.

Direct Access to Qualified Lawyers

You will work directly with qualified, experienced solicitors throughout your entire case. Unlike some firms where paralegals handle most communication, our lawyers personally manage your claim from first consultation through to settlement. We also offer home and hospital visits for clients who cannot travel due to their injuries.

Genuine Client Care

We approach every case with empathy and understanding. Recovery is difficult enough without feeling like your lawyer does not care. Our team takes time to explain each step of the process, answer your questions promptly, and provide the emotional support you need during challenging times. Client testimonials consistently highlight our warmth, professionalism, and dedication.

Transparent No Win, No Fee Structure

Financial stress should never prevent someone from seeking justice. Our No Win, No Fee arrangement means you pay nothing unless we win. We also sit on the Legal Aid Panel, which means disbursements such as medical report fees can often be covered by Legal Aid for clients facing financial hardship.

Strategic Negotiation and Litigation Skills

Most claims settle without going to court, but insurers know which lawyers will actually fight at trial. Our reputation for thorough preparation and willingness to litigate when necessary gives us leverage during negotiations. The threat of a court award is what motivates insurers to offer fair settlements, and defendants know Soul Legal will pursue every justified entitlement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Injury Compensation in WA

Most frequent questions and answers

What if I cannot afford a lawyer?

No legal fees are payable until the conclusion of your case. Soul Legal assists victims of injury on a “No Win – No Fee”* basis.

Upon the successful conclusion of your claim for damages Soul Legal will pursue “party and party” costs from the insurer. This should cover majority of your legal costs.

Any shortfall, otherwise known as “solicitor and client” costs are paid from the settlement proceeds. Usually this amount will not exceed 10% of the damages award.

What are the steps I need to take after being injured in a motor vehicle accident?

Always give priority to your injuries by obtaining medical attention. Whilst the most significant injuries will be attended to by your treating doctors, remember to mention your lesser injuries and have them recorded. Some significant injuries can manifest themselves over time, and if their initial symptoms are not included in your medical record, the insurer may dispute that these were sustained in the accident.
In Western Australia, we recommend that that you complete an online crash report. You can also request a ‘Notice of Intention to Make a Claim Form’ direct from ICWA. You are expected to do so within 6 months of the date of the crash. However, if you have not done so this would not usually disqualify your claim as ICWA has an onus to establish prejudice to defeat your claim.
Engage a law firm that has the necessary reputation and proven traits to represent your interests.

Can I claim compensation if I am partly at fault in a car accident?

Yes, provided that it can be established that a driver of a registered motor vehicle was at least partly at fault

What if the other driver absconded and I am unable to identify who he was?

In Western Australia, there is only one compulsory third party insurer, ICWA. If you have made due search and inquiry to ascertain the identity of the vehicle and have given ICWA a statement for the basis of your claim, you can still be compensated for your loss.

Can I Make a Claim for a Superannuation Total and Permanent Disability Lump Sum Payment?

In addition to your motor vehicle accident claim, you may be eligible to make a Superannuation Total and Permanent Disability (“TPD”) benefit claim if you have been rendered totally unfit for work.

If you were previously injured at work or in a car accident and have already received a lump sum payment, this will not preclude you from receiving a further lump sum payment in a Superannuation TPD claim.
