Who writes these
Written by the lawyer who runs the claims
Every guide here is written by Sha Hotchin, an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law accredited by the Law Institute of Victoria in 2017, practising in Victoria since 2010.
That matters for a practical reason. These guides describe how Victorian schemes actually work, including what the firm charges, rather than repeating general information that applies loosely everywhere and precisely nowhere.

Rather just ask?
Reading only gets you so far
These guides cover how the schemes work in general. Whether you have a claim worth running depends on your circumstances, and that takes a conversation.
- The free claim check takes about two minutes. No obligation, and no cost.
- We will tell you honestly. If we do not think you have a claim worth running, we will say so.
- You get the cost in writing. Before you commit to anything.
Already have a lawyer?
Not happy with how your claim is being run?
You can change lawyers at any stage of a claim, and it usually costs you nothing extra. Your previous firm is paid out of the final outcome rather than by you, and we handle the formal transfer so you do not have to make the call. A second opinion is free and completely confidential.
