Frequently Asked Questions
After an injury, it’s natural to have questions about rights, timeframes and insurers. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our clients. For further guidance, reach out for a free, no-obligation chat.
Strict time limits apply in Queensland. Most people have three years to start proceedings; however, a car accident claim requires a Notice of Accident Claim Form to be submitted within nine months, or within one month of first consulting a lawyer. A workers compensation claim must generally be lodged within six months. A public liability claim requires a Part 1 Notice of Claim within nine months, or within one month of obtaining legal advice.
Useful supporting documents include medical records, photographs, witness details and documents showing injuries sustained. Receipts for medical expenses and evidence of lost income are also necessary. Whether the matter involves a whiplash injury, a motorbike accident or a pre-existing injury that has worsened at work, detailed information helps clarify your legal rights and strengthens the assessment of your claim. To understand how this applies to your situation, speak with one of our expert personal injury lawyers in Highland Park, Nerang, Worongary and surrounding areas.
Depending on the injuries and circumstances, compensation may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income and future support needs. Serious cases involving permanent disability may be eligible for additional allowances. These categories apply to various claim types, including public liability claims and WorkCover claims, and are assessed in accordance with Queensland law and the nature of the injuries sustained.
Most matters are settled through negotiation, so clients rarely need to attend court. A law firm usually manages insurer communication, allowing you to focus on recovery. Whether the incident involved a car accident or arose from a public liability issue, legal support is provided throughout the process unless you prefer direct involvement.
A no win, no fee guarantee means you do not pay legal fees unless your claim succeeds. This helps reduce upfront costs and financial risk. Under a typical fee guarantee, legal costs are only payable at the end of the matter, and many fee lawyers offer an initial consultation or a free initial consultation to explain the process. While an uplift fee of up to 25% is allowed in Queensland, Howard chooses not to charge this amount. Professional fees are limited to 35% instead of the allowable 50%, resulting in the client retaining a greater portion of any settlement.
