If you have been injured in a car accident in Queensland and you were not responsible (or you were only partially responsible), you may have a right to claim. This includes drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians, bus and other road users.

Strict timeframes apply, so it is important you seek legal advice as soon as possible. We offer a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your rights and explain the claim process. As well as there being no fee, there is no obligation to proceed.

Every case is unique. We are motivated to get your claim finalised as efficiently and economically as possible, however, it is also important to ensure that your injuries have stabilised and all medical and other evidence has been obtained before you consider a settlement of your claim. After all, you only get one shot!

Claims involving serious injuries generally take a little longer as the medical professionals will generally want to allow the healing process to take place before they write an opinion about what the future prognosis might be. Most claims can be resolved within 6 to 24 months from when the accident occurred.

Once a CTP insurer has admitted liability for the circumstances of the car accident, they are obliged to pay “reasonable and appropriate” medical and rehabilitation expenses during the course of your claim. Where you’re entitled to rehabilitation funding, we will liaise with the insurer to have your expenses reimbursed, put funding arrangements in place with your treatment providers and make sure that the insurer lives up to their obligations to take the stress away and help you get back on your feet.

If your employer has failed to provide a safe workplace, equipment, system of work or adequate training and supervision, or if a co-worker caused your injury, you may have rights to pursue a common law damages claim in Queensland.

We offer a complimentary initial consultation to assess your compensation claim, advise you on your rights and answer any questions that you have (including help dealing with WorkCover). As well as charging no fee, there is absolutely no requirement to proceed after the initial consultation.

We can help in the following situations:

• If you were injured by machinery, fell or hurt yourself anywhere on the body while working with machines.
• If you sustained injuries working on construction sites, in the mines or on our roads.
• If you were burned or electrocuted while working.
• If you have a back injury or any other physical injury that you experienced in the workplace or in association with your work duties.
• If you were hurt while travelling to or from work or attending meetings or partaking in other work-related duties at other locations.
• If you have been bullied or harassed in the workplace or experienced other forms of psychological injury or mental distress in the workplace or in connection with your work duties.
• If the accident caused the death of your spouse or someone you depend on financially, you could be eligible to submit a claim for funeral expenses and loss of dependency.

Every compensation matter needs to be reviewed individually. Our lawyers can provide tailored advice for you.

While each compensation case is unique, there are four main factors that can influence the time taken to assess and progress your claim. These include the extent and complexity of your injury, the number of parties involved, the availability of evidence to support your claim and the statutory claim process. Most claims resolve and only a very small percentage of cases ever end up in a court. Having an experienced specialist handling your claim will ensure that time is never wasted and it can be finalised as efficiently as possible and give you the best result that circumstances permit.

Injuries suffered in a variety of incidents can fall under this type of compensation claim, including:

• Slips, trips and falls;
• Shopping centre accidents;
• Assaults;
• Sporting, boating and other recreational accidents;
• Dog attacks, horse riding accidents and other injuries involving animals;
• Other injuries suffered in the public domain where another party (or occupier) was negligent and “at fault”;
• Where you were hurt at a workplace but the fault was not that of a co-worker or your employer.

Our compensation lawyers in Brisbane are here to help you.

In order to succeed in a public liability claim for compensation, you need to prove that your injuries were suffered as a result of the negligent actions of another party or occupier and that they failed to discharge their “duty of care” to you.

Our lawyers can provide a complimentary initial consultation to discuss these matters, advise you on your rights and answer any questions that you have about the claims process and seeking compensation. As well as there being no fee, there is absolutely no expectation to proceed after this consultation.

As part of your compensation, you may be entitled to recover damages for your pain and suffering, past and future loss of income and superannuation, past and future medical, rehabilitation and other “out of pocket” expenses. You can even claim for the cost of paid care and home assistance and if the necessary conditions are met, the value of the voluntary assistance provided by friends and family. Our personal injury lawyers will be able to provide tailored advice once they speak with you.

While each case is unique, there are four main factors that can influence the time taken to assess and progress your compensation claim. These include the extent and complexity of your injury, the number of parties involved, the compiling of evidence that is relevant to your claim and the technical aspects which are part of legal proceedings. Having an experienced specialist that is capable of efficiently identifying the key required and relevant information, ensures optimum timeliness in progressing your claim and reaching a settlement.

Each case is uniquely different, so we offer a complimentary initial assessment and consultation for your matter. As well as no fee, there is absolutely no need to proceed after this consultation. We will provide you with simple to follow advice and you can decide your next steps.
