How do you structure your fees?

We were among the first Queensland law firms to offer ‘No Win, No Fee’ services. Put simply, you pay nothing until we win your settlement through negotiation with the ‘at fault’ party or, as in most cases, their insurer. Learn more about our fees here.

What experience do you have with cases like mine?

To answer this question, we’ll need to learn more about your case or claim. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us more about your case, and we can tell you about similar cases and the outcomes we achieved. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer.

Can you provide references from other clients?

Yes, of course. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us what you’d like to know and the type of client you’d like to hear from, and we’ll gladly provide a reference from them. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer. Or, you can take a look at the “happy clients” on our website.

Do I have to pay for an initial consultation?

No! We will never charge you for your initial consultation. In fact, you pay nothing until you win your case. Our fees come directly from your end result, which means you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

What kind of injuries qualify for a motor vehicle accident claim in Queensland?

Motor vehicle accidents in Queensland can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe life-altering conditions. In a compensation claim, it is crucial to understand that various types of injuries are eligible for compensation.

Such injuries may include (but are not exclusive to):

1. Whiplash Injuries

One of the most common injuries in car accidents, whiplash occurs due to the sudden jerking motion of the head and neck.

2. Broken Bones

Fractures and broken bones are often seen in high-impact collisions, requiring extensive medical treatment.

3. Head and Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can have long-term consequences, impacting cognitive abilities and motor functions.

4. Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord can lead to paralysis or loss of sensation, significantly affecting the quality of life.

5. Soft Tissue Injuries

Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons can cause chronic pain and mobility issues.

6. Internal Injuries

In motor vehicle accidents, internal injuries like organ damage or internal bleeding may not be immediately apparent but can have serious implications if left untreated.

7. Psychological Injuries

While physical injuries are more apparent in car accidents, the psychological impact should not be overlooked.

Why should I pursue a motor vehicle accident claim?

Seeking compensation for both physical and psychological injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident is essential for several reasons:.

1. Recovery Costs

Compensation can help cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and therapy for physical injuries, ensuring the best possible recovery.

2. Loss of Income

Severe injuries can lead to temporary or permanent disability, resulting in loss of income. Compensation can provide financial support during this challenging period.

3. Emotional Trauma

Motor vehicle accidents can cause emotional distress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Compensation can help access mental health support and counseling services.

4. Long-Term Impact

Some injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents may have long-term consequences, such as chronic pain, disability, or reduced quality of life. Compensation can help individuals cope with these ongoing challenges.

Understanding the types of injuries covered in car accident compensation claims and the significance of seeking compensation for both physical and psychological injuries is crucial for individuals involved in such incidents. It is important to seek legal advice and support to navigate the complexities of compensation claims in Queensland effectively.
