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.

Why is a free consultation with a no win no fee injury lawyer important when commencing a workplace accident claim in Queensland?

Workplace Injury Claim

Why is a free consultation with a no win no fee injury lawyer important when commencing a workplace accident claim in Queensland?

When it comes to commencing a workplace accident claim in Queensland, the importance of a free initial chat cannot be overstated. This crucial first step lays the foundation for a successful claim process by allowing accident victims to understand their rights, evaluate their options, and gain valuable insights from legal experts.

Through a free initial chat, individuals can clarify any doubts they may have, discuss the specifics of their case, confirm the terms of the ‘no win no fee’ agreement, and determine the best course of action moving forward. Furthermore, this initial consultation provides an opportunity for both the claimant and the workplace accident lawyer to assess the potential for a successful claim and establish a relationship built on trust and transparency. In a time of uncertainty and distress following a workplace accident, a free initial chat offers a lifeline of support and guidance, empowering individuals to navigate the complex legal procedures with confidence.

What are the advantages of a free consultation?

An obligation free consultation (whether it be in person or over the phone) will allow the lawyer and yourself to ask questions of each other:

The Lawyer will want to establish details about your workplace accident and injuries so that they can establish if you have a viable claim.
You will be able to ask any questions you have, this might be about the process, their experience, their advice specific to you and any costs agreement they may offer you.

At the end of this chat, you will be equipped with a variety of information. The lawyer will be able to tell you:

Whether, in their opinion, you have a viable claim or not. They can run you through your rights and obligations in making a claim for your workplace accident.
How your injuries may be assessed in a common law claim. While they will not be able to determine a certain amount or sum you will receive, your no win no fee lawyer can assess the unique circumstances of your case and advise a quantum of your workplace accident claim more generally.
Whether there are any strict time limits or restrictions on your right to make a claim. Navigating the Queensland legal system can be daunting, especially for those unfamiliar with the process, and the guidance provided during the consultation helps in clarifying the steps that need to be taken and the deadlines that must be met to pursue a claim successfully.
If the lawyer wishes to proceed with your claim, they can step you through the no win no fee agreement. In Queensland, this model is a common practice in workplace accident injury claims, making legal representation accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it.

The free consultation is an excellent opportunity to clarify your rights and establish the steps needed in your case. Some lawyers may tell you that they are not prepared to take your matter on, in this case, we would recommend calling another lawyer to get a second opinion.
