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 are the legal obligations and requirements of my employer to prevent workplace accidents in Queensland?

Businesses in Queensland are subject to workplace safety laws, and workers’ compensation legislation. These laws encompass various aspects of workplace safety, including hazard identification, risk assessment, and the implementation of control measures to mitigate risks. It is essential for employers and employees to be well-versed in these regulations to create a secure working environment. Understanding and complying with these laws not only fulfills legal obligations but also demonstrates a commitment to the wellbeing of the workforce.

The prevention of workplace injuries in Queensland is a shared responsibility between employers and employees. Employers have a duty to provide a safe working environment, which includes conducting regular risk assessments, providing necessary safety training, and ensuring that appropriate safety measures are in place. Additionally, fostering a culture where employees feel empowered to report hazards and concerns is crucial. On the other hand, employees are responsible for adhering to safety protocols, using provided protective equipment, and proactively contributing to a safe work environment.

Non-compliance with safety regulations can have severe consequences, and can cause injuries to occur in the workplace. Businesses must invest in ongoing training and resources to ensure compliance and, ultimately, the protection of their workforce. By understanding and adhering to safety regulations, businesses can safeguard their employees and contribute to a positive and productive work environment.
