Frequently Asked Questions
Feeling unsure after an injury is completely understandable. Many people don't know whether they’re eligible to claim, what evidence is required, or how the process unfolds. To support you, we’ve shared clear answers to the questions we’re asked most often by those recovering from an injury.
Most claims must begin within 3 years, but notice periods vary. Motor vehicle claims need notice in 9 months, WorkCover in 6 months, and public liability in 9 months. Strict limits apply; so it's essential to seek legal advice without delay. Because strict deadlines apply to any compensation claim, getting advice early from experienced compensation lawyers is essential if you have suffered unexpected injury and need personal injury legal services.
We assist with a wide range of compensation claim types, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries covered by WorkCover or workers' compensation, public liability incidents and permanent disability insurance claims if you have suffered a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury. Our personal injury lawyers in Coombabah, Runaway Bay and surrounding areas help injured individuals understand options and access tailored legal services.
Evidence for a compensation claim usually includes medical treatment records, receipts for medical expenses, proof of lost income and reports outlining future medical expenses. A good personal injury lawyer can also help gather documents linking your injury to the event. Strong evidence helps to demonstrate how much compensation may be available under Queensland law.
Most personal injury claims resolve without going to court. Our Gold Coast compensation lawyers usually negotiate directly with insurers during the legal process, and many matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation. Court is only required if liability or the amount of compensation cannot be agreed. Early advice helps clarify whether your situation is likely to settle or proceed to litigation.
With a no win, no fee approach, you do not pay legal fees unless your personal injury compensation claim succeeds. There are no upfront costs, and your lawyer covers expenses throughout the matter. Queensland legislation permits uplift fees of up to 25 percent and professional fees of up to 50 percent. Howard avoids uplift fees entirely and caps his fees at 35 percent, helping you retain more of your compensation after settlement.
