Kim Wilkins 
Senior Associate, Wollongong
Personal Injury
The thing that separates Kim from other people in this field is that Kim thrives on the very thing that deters others, the challenge. Kim describes the key ingredients as being communication, knowledge, analysing a problem logically and persistence in achieving the best possible result for the clients. Being an accredited specialist Kim has been recognised for his legal excellence and is one of the best in his field.
Going through a personal injury claim is often a difficult time for clients and being unfamiliar with the legal system can make it all the more daunting for them. This is where Kim explains the process of the claim and exactly what is required.
Typically, Kim deals with a wide variety of personal injury claims, particularly claims for injured workers, where it is necessary Kim advises them on their rights to compensation, the strength of the claim, collects the evidence and negotiates or obtains the best result possible.
“The most rewarding thing is dealing with real people and playing a role in assisting them ‘pick up the pieces of their lives’ after a set back or personal tragedy.”
