Silvia Thompson
Motor Vehicle Accidents Practice Leader
Silvia Thompson is our Motor Vehicle Accidents Practice Leader at Wyatts. With more than 15 years of experience as a personal injury compensation lawyer, she has learned the true value of empathy in achieving success. She treats all her clients with dignity and respect, understands the impact of their injuries, and working towards achieving a successful outcome on their behalf.
Silvia is more than just a compensation lawyer. A dedicated advocate for those seeking justice, a devoted parent to three wonderful boys, a vigilant protector of lives at the beach, and an enthusiastic ocean swimmer. Her love for the ocean runs deep. When she’s not at her desk or in the courtroom, you’ll often find her on ocean swims in her spare time or patrolling the beach as an active Queenscliff Surf Lifesaver. Her dedication to beach safety is a personal mission. Balancing a demanding legal career with parenting is a rewarding challenge, and it reminds her daily of the importance of empathy and understanding in her Motor Vehicle Accidents practice. Being a parent has made her even more committed to seeking justice for families who have experienced personal injury or loss.
Silvia has had the privilege of helping countless individuals navigate the complexities of motor vehicle accident personal injury compensation claims in the Personal Injury Commission, and the District Court of NSW and the Supreme Court of NSW for more serious above-threshold injuries. Silvia believes that by embracing a holistic approach to life, she can better serve her clients and community. Her commitment to securing maximum fair compensation for her clients is unwavering, and approaches every case with a tenacious spirit. She believes in fighting for what’s right, and ensuring her clients receive the support and justice they deserve.
