Legal Advice for Compensation Claims

It’s normal to feel confused when you have a physical or psychological injury caused by someone else’s negligence, particularly regarding the time limits that apply to compensation claims. Splatt Lawyers Brisbane can explain the insurance compensation claims process, including the evidence required for a case, such as medical records and witness statements.

The Queensland claims process is complex. Our local compensation lawyers advise on the legal procedures for negligence claims.

Rehabilitation Funding

If you have a workplace injury or illness, a fast recovery should be the priority. Under Queensland workers’ compensation law, insurers are required to pay for reasonable medical and rehabilitation costs as part of a claim. This funding can include physiotherapy, specialist appointments, and workplace rehabilitation programs.

Sadly, insurance companies don’t always carry out this duty quickly or in full. Splatt Lawyers can help if your rehabilitation funding has been delayed, cut, or rejected. 

Our Brisbane compensation lawyers will pay for your medical and rehabilitation costs until your claim is settled (with some limitations), so you won’t have to wait for your recovery because of a dispute with an insurance company.

Brisbane Compensation Lawyers FAQs

What is a compensation solicitor?

 

Compensation law icon

Experienced personal injury lawyers are litigation experts who provide the right legal advice to people injured by the negligence of another person, party, company, or entity. That’s because you should not suffer a loss due to someone or something else failing in their duty of care.

 

Calculating compensation legal fees icon

Splatt Lawyers Brisbane is a 100% no-win, no-fee law firm. So, you only pay legal costs when you win. If you lose, you owe nothing. We do not charge a percentage of your lump sum compensation. Instead, our fees are calculated based on the work required to conclude your case. An external auditor independently assesses our legal costs for transparency.

In Queensland, the Legal Profession Act 2007 caps legal fees for compensation law firms. This means that the law firm cannot achieve more than a client receives from a settlement.

This is commonly referred to as the 50/50 rule. Consequently, fees for compensation lawyers are capped in Queensland.

Medical negligence icon

Medical negligence occurs when a health professional fails to deliver a reasonable level of care.

Currently, our Brisbane compensation lawyers do not provide compensation law advice for medical negligence claims in Australia. A specialist medical negligence lawyer can explain your rights.

Strict time limits apply for personal compensation claims, which can vary depending on the circumstances.

  • In most cases, you have three years from the accident date to claim compensation.
  • However, exceptions apply, and some cases have much shorter limitation periods.
  • Our Brisbane lawyers can outline your rights and lodgement timeframes during a free consultation.

Queensland compensation lawyers offer legal services for a range of injury claims, such as:

Most personal injury claims are settled within 9 to 18 months, with catastrophic cases taking several years to resolve.

Experienced lawyers can provide a settlement estimate and offer guidance on achieving the best outcome.

The phrase “compensation you deserve” is a common expression used in the Australian litigation legal industry. In reality, personal compensation entitlements are outlined in Queensland legislation, including the maximum compensation limits for workers’ compensation.

Highly skilled legal experts understand how to apply these laws when dealing with a compensation matter, and the steps to a successful outcome.

Here is a summary of the entire process for personal injury claims to achieve the best possible outcome.

  1. Get medical treatment for your injury or illness
  2. Collate evidence that proves lost income from physical injuries and psychological damage
  3. Seek legal advice with a first meeting about your eligibility, rights and entitlements
  4. Lodge a claim within the liable insurance company within the strict time limits
  5. Approved Settlement: Receive a lump sum payout or permanent impairment payments
  6. Court proceedings may be possible for a denied case

This whole process may seem overwhelming at first, but specialist injury lawyers can guide you through it with excellent client service and expert legal advice.
