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.

Public Transport Accidents: Injuries sustained in accidents involving public transportation, such as buses or trains, may be handled by personal injury lawyers.

Is a personal injury claim worth pursuing?

A common question people have when contemplating making a claim for personal injury compensation is whether it is financially worth pursuing. Assuming you have a right to make a claim, there are two aspects to this:

will you be awarded a sum of money large enough to justify your efforts (in time and emotionally) and;
will there be anything left for you after the lawyers and any Government refunds are paid?

It is common for lawyers to offer an obligation free assessment to look at exactly this issue. The lawyers will take your instructions and gather information about the circumstances of the accident, including: your injury, cost of treatment, medical prognosis, and the impact of the injury on your ability to work. This information will help the lawyer assess the merits of your case and whether it is one worth pursuing. The lawyers will want to be reasonably confident that your case is worth pursuing before they offer you a no win no fee agreement/ arrangement. We recommend you take time to understand the lawyer’s fee structure and terms of their no win no fee arrangement.

After carefully assessing the circumstances of your accident and injury the lawyers will give you their opinion as to whether they think you have a claim worth pursuing. It is then up to you whether you proceed, possibly making a personal injury claim, or whether you seek a second opinion from another lawyer.
