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 Queensland CTP scheme for motor vehicle accidents?

January 31, 2023

Motor Vehicle Injury

What is the Queensland CTP scheme for motor vehicle accidents?

The Queensland Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme is a system where all vehicle owners are required to purchase insurance to cover the cost of any personal injury claims arising from a motor vehicle accident, regardless of who was at fault. The insurance provides coverage for the driver, passengers, and any other person injured in the accident.

Who can claim under the Queensland CTP scheme?

Under the Queensland CTP scheme, claims can be made by:

The driver of the vehicle,
Any passengers in the vehicle,
Any pedestrian or cyclist involved in the accident,
Any person injured as a result of the use of a vehicle, even if they were not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

What is the average amount of money claimants receive?

The average amount of money a claimant may receive under the Queensland CTP scheme depends on several factors such as the severity of their injuries, the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation, loss of income, and other expenses. It is not possible to determine an average amount as each case is unique and the amount awarded is determined on a case-by-case basis. The insurance company will assess the claim based on the evidence provided and make a settlement offer based on the costs incurred by the claimant as a result of the accident. Your Lawyer can help understand this process and build a case based on the degree of your impairment and impact on financial and life from the accident.
