What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim may fall under a range of legal processes, including common law claims or statutory schemes like workers compensation and compulsory third-party insurance. In Queensland, personal injuries proceedings are governed by specific rules and legislation, ensuring that the claims process is fair, evidence-based, and subject to oversight.

A personal injury claim is a legal process that allows you to seek claim compensation for harm you’ve suffered due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. This might include physical injuries, psychological damage, or financial loss. Our personal injury law team helps everyday people secure fair outcomes for serious events that affect their lives.

Whether it’s a motor vehicle accident, a workplace injury, or another kind of personal injury case, we’re here to support you in seeking compensation.

Our Frequently Asked Questions for Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury claims can be an overwhelming and often confusing process. So to help make the process easier to understand, we’ve included some FAQs below.

Do you offer a no win, no fee arrangement?

We do offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This will mean that we will only be paid for our legal work once you receive your accident compensation. You will also always be fully aware of any outgoings in relation to your case before we begin representing you.

Will I still have to pay if my case isn’t successful?

No. With our no win, no fee arrangement, if your case doesn’t succeed, you won’t pay legal fees for our services.

What qualifies as a personal injury?

Many different situations could encompass personal injury rules:

Accidents

When someone acts in a negligent manner and another person is harmed because of that carelessness. This can include slip and fall accidents, workplace injuries, medical negligence, motor vehicle accidents and injuries, including as a cyclist or pedestrian and more.

Intentional Acts

Where a defendant’s intentional conduct causes harm to another person, personal injury law applies. This includes assaults and intentional torts.

Defective Products

If a consumer product, medical device, vehicle part, or other product proves to be defective or dangerous, any person who is hurt by using that product could starta product liability lawsuit.

Is it worth hiring a personal injury lawyer?

To ensure that your claim is handled correctly and you receive the compensation you need to recover, it is worth hiring a qualified and knowledgeable personal injury attorney. They will then be by your side throughout the whole process and will expedite the case as much as possible.

There are a lot of components involved with a personal injury claim such as dealing with insurance companies to negotiating with the defendant’s lawyers. Your personal injury solicitor can help you every step of the way to ensure you get the best help possible.

How can I prove my pain and suffering?

If you have a non-economic loss included in your claim for financial recovery, this refers to pain and suffering. Examples of this include disruption to your usual way of life and mental and emotional distress.

We will ensure that we have gathered all necessary medical and factual evidence in support of your claim, and will work with you and medical professionals to determine the dollar amount your pain and suffering warrants.

Can I sue for emotional pain and suffering?

In some cases, yes, you can. So long as it has resulted from an accident or event in which you were directly involved, a witness, or in a close family relationship to someone who was killed or injured in the accident.

For example, an uninjured occupant of a vehicle that was involved in a motor accident could sue the driver who was at fault if that occupant sustains PTSD or depression by reason of the calamity.

Emotional pain and suffering can also occur in a workplace where the event complained of doesn’t constitute reasonable management action, for example, bullying.

Is there a time limit for making a claim?

Yes – strict legal timeframes apply, so it’s important to seek legal advice quickly.

For general personal injuries, your time limit to notify the other person is dependent upon a number of factors (such as the type of accident, the insurer, whether you’re over 18), so it is critical to seek legal advice about the time limits relevant to your personal injury case, as soon as possible.

What qualifications do your lawyers hold?

Principal Kate Denning is an Accredited Personal Injury Law Specialist.

There are only around 120 personal injury specialists in QLD and of those, only about 20 are female and of those, under five are sole practitioners.

Will I need to go to court?

Not always – many claims are settled through negotiation. If court is required, we’ll represent you every step of the way.
