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 Evidence is Needed For A Successful Personal Injury Claim in Queensland?

Understanding personal injury law

What evidence is needed for a successful personal injury claim in Queensland?

There are two elements in an personal injury claim that your lawyer will gather evidence in relation to, that is:

- Liability – who’s fault it is; and
- Quantum – the dollar value of the claim.

When you make a claim, it is up to you, with the help of your legal team, to provide the evidence to prove the claim.

The first of the issues is liability. This is the who is at fault question and will determine if you win or lose your claim. To win, you must establish that the other party or parties are at fault. Evidence as to liability could include things like:

- Police reports;
- Witness statements;
- Training records;
- Cleaning records;
- Maintenance reports;
- Accident reports;
- Photos of the scene; and
- CCTV footage.

The second issue of quantum, that is how much your claim is worth, can be supported by a variety of evidence like:

- Medical treatment notes;
- Hospital records;
- Ambulance notes;
- Specialist reports and medico-legal opinion;
- Income tax returns before and after the accident;
- Witness statements;
- Receipts for expenses;
- Records of assistance received;
- Injury photos; and
- XRay and medical imaging reports.

When you are gathering evidence for your lawyer or responding to a request for information for your lawyer, by promptly providing the information you allow your legal team to progress your claim without delay.

By providing the information in a neat well set out format you also allow your legal team focus on the legal matters of the claim and save unnecessary costs in them sifting through documents searching for what they need.
