What Our Clients Say

Read about the experiences of real clients who have trusted us with their personal injury claims.

“The insurance company initially offered me a settlement that wouldn’t even cover my medical expenses after my car accident. This firm negotiated a compensation package that was nearly three times the original offer. Their expertise made all the difference.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Find answers to common questions about personal injury claims in Australia.

    We operate on a No Win, No Fee basis for personal injury claims. This means you don’t pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful. When you win your case, legal costs are typically calculated as a percentage of your compensation amount, which is capped by legislation in most Australian states. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear explanation of our fee structure and any potential disbursements (such as medical report costs) that may apply to your case.

    The duration of a personal injury claim varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Simple claims might be resolved in 6-12 months, while more complex cases can take 18-24 months or longer. Cases that proceed to court typically take longer than those settled through negotiation. We work efficiently to resolve your claim as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive fair compensation.

    Personal injury compensation in Australia typically covers:

    • Medical and rehabilitation expenses (past and future)
    • Loss of income and earning capacity
    • Pain and suffering (non-economic loss)
    • Care and assistance needs
    • Home and vehicle modification costs
    • Out-of-pocket expenses
    • The specific entitlements vary depending on your injury type, location, and the applicable compensation scheme. We’ll assess your individual circumstances to identify all potential compensation components.

    Yes, you can still claim compensation even if you were partially at fault for your injury. Australian personal injury law recognizes the concept of “contributory negligence,” where compensation may be reduced by the percentage you’re deemed responsible for the accident. For example, if your claim is valued at $100,000 but you’re found to be 25% at fault, you would receive $75,000. Our lawyers will help assess any contributory negligence factors and work to minimize their impact on your compensation.

    The vast majority of personal injury claims in Australia (approximately 95-98%) are resolved without going to court. Most cases are settled through negotiation, mediation, or alternative dispute resolution processes. However, if liability is strongly disputed or a fair settlement cannot be reached, court proceedings may be necessary. If your case does go to court, our experienced litigation team will represent you throughout the process and prepare you thoroughly for any court appearances required.
