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.

I have a mental illness

Suffering from a mental illness can be debilitating and impact you in all aspects of life. It isn’t unusual for a mental illness to impact your ability to work. Not being able to work as the result of a mental illness can be frustrating and the source of much stress.

Common mental illnesses include:

Anxiety Disorders
Depression
Bipolar Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia
Eating Disorders
Disruptive behaviour and dissocial disorders

We strongly recommend seeking urgent medical attention if you are suffering from a mental illness.

Can I access TPD insurance if I can’t work because of a mental illness?

Many workers aren’t aware that they have Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance. The lawyers at Trilby Misso can search your superannuation policy details and establish if you have any TPD insurance.

The details of TPD policies vary from insurer, but generally they allow you to make a claim if you’re unable to perform your usual occupation due to illness, impairment or injury, including mental illness.

How much can I claim on TPD insurance for a mental illness?

The amount you can claim under a TPD policy will be determined by the terms of the policy and policies can be difficult to understand. It is also possible for a worker to have more than one policy, and they are able to make a claim on each policy they hold. The team at Trilby Misso can help establish what policies are in place, the amount of insurance under each policy and they can then make the appropriate submissions to the insurer as to why the policy should be paid in full to you.
