PMN Lawyers (Palios Meegan Nicholson) is an Adelaide personal injury firm with a clear focus. When you are hurt because someone else was careless, you should not have to take on an insurer alone.

Your first consultation is free, and most claims run on a no win, no fee basis, so you can understand where you stand before any cost to you.

How our personal injury lawyers can help
We focus on one thing and do it well. Across every type of compensation claim, the goal is the same. We work out what you’re owed, build the evidence, and deal with the insurer so you can get on with recovering.
Workers’ compensation
Hurt at work? We handle ReturnToWorkSA claims, income maintenance and disputes at the South Australian Employment Tribunal. If your claim has been rejected or cut off, we can challenge it.

Workplace accidents and injuries
Some workplace injuries give you a right to claim beyond the standard scheme. We look at every avenue so nothing gets left on the table.

Motor vehicle and car accidents
Whether it was a car, motorbike, truck or bike, we run CTP claims against the insurer and chase the compensation you’re entitled to for your injuries, treatment and lost income.

Public liability claims
Slipped, tripped or injured in a shop, footpath or public space? If a hazard that someone should have fixed caused your injury, you may have a claim under the Civil Liability Act 1936.

Super death and disability benefits
Many people don’t realise their superannuation includes cover for serious illness or injury. We help you claim what your policy already owes you.

A compensation lawyer who works for you, not the insurer
After an injury, the insurer’s job is to settle for as little as possible. Yours shouldn’t be to argue with them. A good compensation lawyer levels that out. We know what these claims are worth, we know the South Australian legislation inside out, and we know the tactics insurers use to talk people into early, low offers.
Sit down with one of our solicitors and we’ll tell you honestly whether you have a claim and what it could be worth. No pressure, no jargon, no obligation.
Hurt in a car accident on South Australian roads?
If another driver caused your crash, you can claim compensation through the CTP scheme, no matter which car you were in. As your car accident lawyer, we lodge the claim, gather your medical evidence and deal with the insurer directly. You focus on getting better while we handle the rest.
Time matters here. Motor vehicle accident claims in South Australia generally have a three year limit, and some notice requirements are much shorter. The sooner you talk to us, the more we can do.

Frequently asked questions
PMN Lawyers (Palios Meegan Nicholson) is a personal injury and compensation law firm in Adelaide, South Australia, established in 1982. We represent injured people in workers compensation, motor vehicle accident, public liability and medical negligence claims, and we work on a no win, no fee basis.
Often nothing upfront. We run most personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis, so you don’t pay our professional fees unless we win compensation for you. The first consultation is free, with no obligation to proceed.
Hard to say without the details. As a rule, if someone else’s negligence injured you at work, on the road, in a public place or through medical treatment, you may be entitled to compensation. The quickest way to know is a free assessment with one of our solicitors.
It depends on the type of claim. Motor vehicle accident claims generally have a three year limit. Workers compensation claims usually need lodging within six months. Some have shorter notice rules, so it pays to speak with us early.
We handle the parts insurers make difficult. That means lodging your CTP claim, building the medical evidence, dealing with the insurer and arguing for a settlement that reflects your real losses. You recover. We deal with the paperwork and the pushback.
Usually not straight away. First offers tend to sit well below what a claim is worth, and once you accept, you generally can’t reopen it. Have a lawyer review the offer before you sign anything.
Our office is in the Adelaide CBD at Level 5, 28-30 Grenfell Street. We act for injured people right across South Australia. Call 08 8212 3566 to arrange a time.
