Can I Get a Free Consultation With a ‘no win, no fee’ Injury Lawyer in Queensland?
If you are injured in an accident in Queensland and want to seek legal advice, many lawyers, especially those offering ‘no win, no fee’ arrangements, often provide free initial consultations to prospective clients. During this consultation, you can discuss the details of your case, learn about the lawyer’s experience, and explore whether they are the right fit for your needs.
A free consultation might also be described as an obligation-free call, obligation-free appointment, or a free initial appointment. You can establish if a lawyer will offer a free initial consultation by:
-
- Checking the law firm’s website which may state that they offer an obligation-free consultation; or
- Calling the law firm and asking if you can speak to a lawyer “obligation-free”.
An obligation-free consultation will allow the lawyer and yourself to ask questions of each other:
-
- The Lawyer will want to establish details about your 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 cost agreement they may offer you.
The free consultation is an excellent opportunity to establish if you have a valid compensation claim. If the no win no fee lawyer believes you have good prospects of success, they will offer to act for you on a no win no fee basis. 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.
Keep in mind that the legal landscape can change, and individual law firms may have different policies. Therefore, it’s recommended that you verify the current consultation policies directly with the law firms you are considering. Generally speaking, many no-win no-fee lawyers in Queensland are willing to provide a free initial consultation to assess the viability of your injury compensation matter.
