Polaris is the name of the North star: the first and brightest star in the night sky. Because it is stable, it has been used for centuries by explorers in navigation, and for European explorers – Polaris showed the way home. We believe that at their best, lawyers serve as navigators: guiding our clients through a complex legal system. Polaris

Lawyers was started with a simple vision – putting our injured clients first as we guide them to a great result. We don’t just work for you; we work with you. We listen, we advise and we act. It might not sound revolutionary, but for us this means delivering top quality personal service for every client, keeping our promises, no nonsense advice, and cost certainty for every one of our clients. We’ve learned, from many years of experience, that clients want up front and easy to understand advice. We understand that if you’ve been injured, you don’t know where you stand legally, and the last thing you want is costly and complicated legal advice. At Polaris Lawyers, we are expert lawyers who provide clear advice in plain English, when and where our clients need it, and with no hidden costs. We are an innovative boutique personal injury law firm combining over 50 years of big firm expertise, with the personal service and empathy you only get with a team dedicated to you and your case.

If you’ve been injured in a transport accident in Victoria, timing matters.

▶️ In most cases, you have 12 months to lodge a TAC claim - either from the date of the accident, or from when your injury first becomes apparent.

While that might sound like plenty of time, it’s always best to act sooner rather than later. Getting things underway early can make the process smoother.

If you’re worried you may have missed the deadline, don’t assume it’s too late. There are some circumstances where late claims may still be accepted.

When someone close to you is seriously injured, it can feel overwhelming.

You want to help, but it’s not always clear what that should look like. You might worry about saying the wrong thing or not doing enough.

What matters most often isn’t having the right words. It’s simply being there. Sitting with them. Listening. Letting them set the pace.

You don’t need to fix anything. A calm, steady presence goes a long way. 🧡

We understand how challenging this time can be for both injured people and the people supporting them. We’re here to help make the legal side feel more manageable.

If you’ve been injured at work, knowing where to start can make all the difference.

The first step is to report the injury to your employer and complete a WorkCover claim form.

You’ll also need your doctor to provide a WorkCover medical certificate, known as a “Certificate of Capacity.”

From there, the process can start to feel a bit more complex - and that’s where legal support makes the biggest difference.

Not quite ready to speak with a lawyer? Our free online tool WorkMate is available anytime to help answer your questions and point you in the right direction.

And when you do feel ready, we’re here to guide you through it. 🧡

Some cases stay with you long after they’re finished.

Our recent County Court win - securing $836,228 in damages (or $929,688 with interest) after a 16-day medical negligence trial - was one of those.

In this case, a young man living with a genetic disability lost his mother following post-surgery complications. Negligence was strongly contested by the other side - but ultimately proven at trial by Polaris.

For Polaris Director and Principal, Alice Robinson, it was deeply personal.

Making this area of law more accessible matters to Alice, shaped in part by growing up alongside a family member with a profound disability.

“Resolving this matter represents a significant step in our healing. For that, we are extremely grateful to Polaris.” 🧡

This was shared with us by a client following the successful resolution of their matter.

Outcomes like this matter. Not only for the result itself, but because of what it represents for the people involved.

Pursuing a compensation claim can feel long and, at times, exhausting. We’re always mindful of that.

Our role is to guide you through it with clear advice, consistent communication, and genuine care at every stage.

Because for many clients, this process is about more than compensation. It’s about finding a sense of closure and moving forward.

If you need guidance after an injury, we’re here when you’re ready.

If you’ve been injured at work in Victoria, you may be able to bring a common law claim - but only if your injury meets the legal threshold of being “serious”, and there is fault on the part of another party.

So, what does “serious” actually mean?

In simple terms, a serious injury is one that continues to affect your day-to-day life. If you’ve made a full recovery and returned to how things were before, it’s unlikely to qualify.

If your injury is assessed as serious, you’ll be given a certificate that allows you to move forward with a claim. From there, negligence still needs to be proven.

It’s not always easy to know where you stand. We’re here to help you understand your options and take the next step with clarity. 🧡
