Frequently Asked Questions
If you’ve been injured, it’s normal to feel uncertain about what to do next. You may be wondering if you’re eligible to make a personal injury claim, how it could impact your future, or where to start.
The process can feel overwhelming, especially while you’re focusing on recovery. That’s why getting legal advice early is important – it helps clarify your options, protects your rights, and ensures you don’t miss key deadlines.
At Biddle Law, we offer free, no-obligation consultations and can work on a no win, no fee basis, so you can access expert support without worrying about upfront costs. We’ve answered some of the most common questions from injured people, and we’re here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Personal injury law allows individuals to seek compensation for injuries sustained due to someone else’s negligence. This includes:
Motor vehicle accidents and motorcycle accidents
Public liability incidents
Psychological injuries and permanent disability claims.
An experienced personal injury compensation lawyer can assess your situation, advise on the personal injury law process, and help calculate compensation for medical treatment, lost and future wages, future medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs. Seeking legal advice early ensures you meet strict time limits and maximise your chances of a successful claim.
Strict time limits apply under Queensland compensation law. For workers' compensation claims, an injured person usually must lodge a claim within six months of the injury. Common law claims for workplace injuries or permanent disability claims generally have a three-year limit. Public liability and CTP claims for road accidents typically must commence within three years of the accident or when the injury was discovered. Our experienced personal injury lawyers can guide you through the personal injury law process to ensure your ability to claim compensation rights is preserved.
Compensation for personal injury claims in Queensland can cover a wide range of losses and expenses. This includes medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future medical expenses, and any ongoing care required due to permanent disability claims.
Our expert personal injury lawyers can also help calculate how much compensation you are eligible for and offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This allows you to seek legal advice and pursue fair compensation without worrying about upfront professional fees, giving you peace of mind while focusing on recovery.

Common law claims for workplace injuries or permanent disability claims generally have a three-year limit.

CTP and PL claims need to be commenced within nine months from the date of the accident, unless there is a reasonable excuse for delay.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers can guide you through the personal injury law process to ensure your ability to claim compensation rights is preserved.
Medical and other evidence are crucial for a successful personal injury compensation claim. This includes medical treatment records, rehabilitation reports, hospital visits, accident reports, witness statements and proof of lost wages or future medical expenses.
Our Gold Coast lawyers can assist in organising this documentation efficiently, ensuring all parties involved, including insurers, receive accurate information. They will guide you through the personal injury claim process, ensuring compliance with strict time limits and legal requirements.
We do not charge uplift fees, even though under Queensland law, Personal Injury firms are entitled to apply an 'uplift' fee of up to 25% on their professional fees if the case achieves a successful outcome. While this is a common practice across the industry, unlike many Personal Injury law firms in Queensland, we’ve chosen not to apply this uplift, keeping our pricing transparent and predictable for clients.
In addition, Queensland legislation limits a Personal Injury firm’s professional fee to a maximum of 50% of the client’s net settlement amount (that is, after statutory refunds such as Medicare, WorkCover and Centrelink, as well as disbursements, have been paid). To ensure our clients receive the fairest possible outcome, we cap our professional fees at just 35% of the net settlement amount, well below the legal maximum. This approach means you understand your fees from the outset, retain more of your compensation and can move forward with greater financial peace of mind.
