What a Brisbane personal injury lawyer can help with
Queensland has distinct compensation schemes for motor vehicle accidents (MAIC/CTP), workplace injuries (WorkCover Queensland) and public liability claims. A Brisbane personal injury lawyer will identify which scheme applies and protect the strict deadlines that apply to each.
- You were injured in a Brisbane car accident and need to claim against CTP.
- You hurt yourself at work and your WorkCover claim has been rejected or under-paid.
- You slipped, tripped or were injured in a public place or shopping centre.
- You suffered a medical negligence injury at a Brisbane hospital or clinic.
- A loved one was injured or died as a result of someone else's negligence.
What to bring to your first consultation
- A description of how the injury happened, with date and location.
- Medical records, scans and reports.
- Police or incident report numbers.
- Receipts for out-of-pocket expenses and pay records.
What it costs in Brisbane
Almost all Brisbane personal injury lawyers work on a "no win, no fee" basis with fee caps set under Queensland law. Initial assessments are free.
The Brisbane context
Motor vehicle injury claims in Queensland are governed by the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (Qld). Workplace injuries are administered by WorkCover Queensland. The 50/50 cap on legal costs vs damages provides client protection.
Questions to ask your lawyer
Once matched, bring these to your first consultation.
- Which compensation scheme applies to my injury, and why?
- What evidence do I need to preserve or gather right now?
- What is a realistic range of outcomes for a claim like mine?
- How do your fees work, and when would I pay them?
