    How We Help Queensland Road Accident Victims Get Maximum Payout In Minimum Time
    (9 Months Faster Than Average)

    Since 1956 we have helped tens of thousands of drivers, riders, and pedestrians successfully navigate road accident injury claims.

    Unlike other lawyers with complicated fee structures (that often include upfront or expensive uplift fees that can increase your costs by 25%), our genuine no-win-no-pay fees are fair, and totally transparent so you know exactly what to expect and won’t pay a cent unless you win.

    While many lawyers prioritise cases based on fee potential (forcing you to wait for your money), we treat every case as urgent and help you get the best outcome (including compensation for future economic loss) as fast as possible (9 months faster than average), so you can focus on recovering and getting your life back on track.

    We’ll even come to you (or meet online over Zoom) and explain everything in plain English so you always know exactly what’s happening with your claim.

    Compulsory Third Party Insurance exists to help victims of car crashes, automotive accidents, and motor vehicle accidents cover costs associated with their injuries; be compensated for pain and suffering; and make up for any associated financial hardship.

    Examples of road injuries are:

    • Spinal Damage
    • Brain Damage
    • Whiplash Injuries
    • Broken limbs
    • Psychological Trauma
    • Multiple injuries from car accidents

    Your payout amount depends on:

    • Your injuries or impairments
    • Your age and employment history
    • Your lost wages – past and future
    • Your expenses associated with medical treatment
    • Your need for ongoing care or rehabilitation

    Determine your ability to claim –
    we can do it by phone, in our office, or we can come to you.

      Maybe you have these questions

      How do you charge for motor vehicle accident cases?

      Here at Trilby Misso, we operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, which means we’ll only charge fees if your claim is successful. And, unlike some other lawyers, we won’t charge an “uplift” fee, either. An uplift fee can be a significant charge of up to 25% of the fees. Learn more about our fees here.

      Can I manage my motor vehicle accident claim by myself?

      While managing your claim independently is possible, doing so may not yield the best outcome. We have the expertise to negotiate with insurance companies effectively, potentially securing a higher compensation amount than you could on your own. We are also well versed in important time limits to protect your rights. 

      Does hiring a lawyer for a motor vehicle accident mean going to court?

      Most motor vehicle accident claims are settled outside of court through direct negotiations. Approximately 98% of matters in Queensland settle without the need of a trial in court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be achieved, a Trilby Misso lawyer is prepared to represent you in court to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

      What if my motor vehicle accident injuries seem minor? Is it still worth getting a lawyer?

      Even minor injuries can have unforeseen complications and costs. A Trilby Misso lawyer can help assess the full impact of your injuries, including future medical expenses or lost earning capacity, ensuring you receive adequate compensation.

      How do I choose the right lawyer for my motor vehicle accident claim?

      Choose a lawyer with specific experience in motor vehicle accident claims and a proven track record of securing compensation for their clients. It’s important to select someone who communicates clearly and whom you trust, as they will be your advocate in this process.

      How do I make a claim?

      To make a claim for a motor vehicle accident, you will have suffered an injury resulting from the accident. This injury can be psychological or physical, and it must have occurred as a result of the accident. You can claim for injuries that involve travel related to your personal or professional life. Injuries that are the aggravation of existing conditions may also be claimable. Contact us to start the claims process.

      How long will my claim take?

      Since every claim involves different factors, it’s difficult to assess how long your claim will take to process. We can provide you with a better estimate of the duration during our assessment meeting.

      What kind of compensation am I entitled to?

      When working with your personal injury lawyer in establishing your claim, we will look at things like your injuries, your age, future expenses (such as surgery), your loss of income (now and in the future), medical bills and out of pocket expenses, and any care you may need.
