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 is the role of a workers’ compensation lawyer in Queensland?

Workers’ compensation cases in Queensland can be complex and overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with the physical, emotional, and financial repercussions of a workplace injury. In such situations, having a skilled workers’ compensation lawyer by your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.

A workers’ compensation lawyer will fulfill a number of responsibilities throughout your claim, including:

Maximising your entitlements with legal expertise: When you hire a workers’ compensation lawyer in Queensland, you benefit from their in-depth knowledge of the law. They can help you understand your rights and entitlements under workers’ compensation laws, ensuring that you receive the maximum benefits you are entitled to.
Navigating legal procedures: filing a workers’ compensation claim can be daunting. A skilled lawyer can guide you through the process, ensuring all necessary paperwork is completed accurately, and on time.
Working under a ‘no win no fee agreement’: Many workers’ compensation lawyers operate on a ‘no-win, no-fee’ basis, which means that you only pay legal fees if your case is successful. This payment model gives you peace of mind during a stressful and overwhelming time.
Establishing liability and securing evidence: proving liability in a workers’ compensation case in Queensland requires thorough investigation and collection of evidence. A workers’ compensation lawyer in Queensland can help gather the necessary evidence, such as medical records and witness statements, to establish liability and strengthen your case.
Steering you through the claims process: the claims process for workers’ compensation cases in Queensland can be lengthy and complex. A lawyer can help you navigate through the various stages of the process, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you meet all deadlines and requirements.
Utilising diverse legal knowledge to ensure the best outcome: workers’ compensation cases may involve various legal issues within personal injury law. A lawyer with diverse legal knowledge can address these complexities and provide comprehensive legal representation tailored to your specific case.
Providing legal representation in court proceedings: in the rare occasion that your workers’ compensation case in Queensland goes to court, having a lawyer by your side is essential. Your lawyer can represent you in court, present your case effectively, and advocate for your rights to ensure the best possible outcome.
Negotiating optimal settlements: insurance companies may try to settle workers’ compensation claims for less than what you deserve. A skilled lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to secure an optimal settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries and losses.

A workers’ compensation lawyer plays a vital role in protecting your rights and maximising your compensation. If you’ve been injured at work, seeking the assistance of a knowledgeable and experienced workers’ compensation lawyer in Queensland can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
