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 steps should I take after a truck accident in Queensland?

Being involved in a truck accident can be a traumatic experience, but knowing the right steps to take afterwards is crucial for your wellbeing and legal protection. Here are some essential steps to follow after a truck accident:

1. Contact the authorities

It is important to report the accident to the police, especially in the case of a truck accident. A police report can provide an official record of the incident, which can be valuable for insurance claims and legal purposes.

2. Document the accident scene

Gathering evidence from the accident scene is vital for any potential legal proceedings. If you are able to, take detailed photos and videos of the vehicles involved, the damage sustained, any visible injuries, road conditions, weather, and traffic signs. Additionally, collect contact information from witnesses and jot down any statements made by the other parties involved.

3. Seek immediate medical attention

Your health and safety should be your top priority. Even if you feel fine after the accident, some injuries may have delayed symptoms. Seeking medical attention promptly not only ensures that you receive necessary treatment but also creates a medical record linking your injuries to the accident.

4. Notify your insurance company

Inform your insurance company about the accident as soon as possible. Be factual and provide only necessary details.

5. Consult with a truck accident lawyer

Seeking legal advice from a truck accident lawyer in Queensland is crucial to protect your rights and interests. An experienced lawyer can help you understand the legal process, assess the strength of your case, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if needed.

By following these steps diligently and seeking the necessary support, you can navigate the aftermath of a truck accident in Queensland with greater confidence and ensure that your rights are protected.
