Do I Have a Valid Case For ‘No Win No Fee’ in Queensland?
Personal injury claim, CTP, Compulsory Third Party, compensation, compo, damages, reimbursement, and claim are all expressions you may have heard which can mean the same thing. Assessing if you have a valid case for a no win, no fee arrangement in Queensland will depend on where and how you were injured.
There are laws set out in legislation as well as case law from the Courts which establish who can claim compensation, how to go about making a claim, and how claims will be assessed (put into a dollar value sum).
If you have sustained an injury caused in relation to an accident in Queensland and you are within the legal time frames, you may have a valid case for a no win, no fee arrangement in Queensland.
In assessing if you have a valid claim, lawyers will examine:
1. Location
To have a valid case for a no win, no fee arrangement the accident has to have occurred in Queensland.
2. Time Limits
Lawyers will establish when the accident occurred and if you are within those important time frames to make a claim. In special cases, if you are outside those important time frames, there may be special circumstances in which the deadline can be extended.
3. Fault
The identity of the person who caused the accident, that is the negligent party.
4. Injury
A claim is to compensate you for any injuries you have suffered and any losses incurred as a result of the injuries sustained. Your lawyer will gather evidence about the injury, the likelihood of recovery or ongoing issues as well as the impact of the injury on your ability to work and care for yourself.
A lawyer can examine the matters listed above and assess as to whether they believe you have a valid case for a no win, no fee arrangement in Queensland.
