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.

See how we helped Amanda secure $160,000 after her incident at work.

June 14, 2024 Return to case studies

Amanda’s* work accident claim is an example of how the impact of a workplace accident goes much further than just the injury itself.

Amanda suffered a significant psychological injury at work. The circumstances were very traumatic for her and to make matters worse, the employer told her it was her fault. After the work incident, she was unable to return to her chosen career. Thankfully a family friend gave her work in the hospitality industry and was a very sympathetic employer who made allowances for her limitations. With time off work and now earning significantly less than in her trained career, the family savings were used and their house deposit was gone.

WorkCover offered Amanda a Lump Sum payment of $7,225.00. Amanda knew this sum didn’t compensate her for the injury, losing her career, her continued loss of income and losing the family savings.

Amanda’s legal team at Trilby Misso were able to gather evidence about the work accident and present a case on why the employer was at fault, as well as financial evidence of her loss of income and medical evidence to support that claim. After extensive negotiations Amanda was able to settle her claim for $160,000, just over 22 times what she was initially offered.

The settlement has helped Amanda regain some financial security and the family are now looking again to buy a home.
