We can help you find out which legal pathway may apply to your situation.
Different claim processes apply depending on how the injury occurred and the type of insurance involved. A motor vehicle accident, work injury or public liability matter may involve a compensation claim, while total and permanent disability may involve a separate claim under an insurance policy provided through a superannuation fund.
The Personal Injury Lawyers can help identify the pathway that may apply, explain the legal assistance available and outline what to do next.

Your legal rights depend on how and where the accident occurred. Motor vehicle accident claims, workers’ compensation claims and public liability claims are governed by different laws and follow different notice, evidence and claim processes. Strict time limits apply, and some notice or lodgement deadlines may arise well before a general limitation period.
Depending on the claim, compensation may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, future income loss, ongoing care and permanent impairment. What can be claimed depends on the circumstances, available evidence and applicable law, so identifying the correct claim pathway early can help protect your rights.
Every compensation claim follows a different process. It usually begins by identifying the correct legal pathway, the relevant insurer or responsible party, and any notice requirements. Evidence may then be gathered, including medical records, accident reports, proof of lost income and relevant expert reports.
After the claim is notified or lodged, the insurer or other party may investigate, request further information and assess liability. Many claims resolve through negotiation, but court proceedings may be required if an agreement cannot be reached. The exact steps and time involved depend on the claim type, available evidence and how the other party responds.
Most claims can be managed by phone, email and online, so you may not need to visit one of our offices.
We explain the claim process, the information required and the steps that may apply to your legal matters.
Eligible claims are handled on a no win, no fee basis, subject to the terms of the costs agreement.
The Personal Injury Lawyers handles applicable compensation claims on a no win, no fee basis. We fund upfront costs such as medical reports, investigations and court filing fees. If your claim is unsuccessful, you do not pay our legal fees.
Your costs agreement explains how professional fees and outlays are treated if the claim succeeds, as well as any potential exposure to another party’s legal costs.
The applicable deadline depends on the type of personal injury claim and your individual circumstances. Missing a notice or lodgement deadline can affect your legal rights, so it is important to seek advice promptly if you are unsure what applies.

The Personal Injury Lawyers are a Queensland law firm providing legal services in compensation claims, personal injury law and TPD superannuation claims. We assist with motor vehicle accident claims, workers’ compensation and WorkCover claims, public liability claims and total and permanent disability insurance claims.
As personal injury lawyers, we handle the common compensation claim services below, including the claim process, evidence and insurance considerations that may apply.
Read more below on our most common services;
Motor vehicle accident claims may involve drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists or pedestrians. Depending on the circumstances, a CTP claim may address injury-related loss, while vehicle damage is handled through a separate property damage claim.
We can assist with insurer communications, medical and accident evidence, and the claim process. Learn more about car accident compensation claims.
A work-related injury can involve a statutory workers’ compensation claim through WorkCover Queensland or a self-insurer. Some circumstances may also give rise to a separate common law claim.
We can assist with WorkCover claims, evidence gathering and communication with the insurer. Learn more about workers’ compensation claims.
A slip, trip or fall in a shopping centre, rental property or another public or private place may involve a public liability claim. Whether a claim is available depends on the circumstances, the responsibilities of the relevant parties and the available evidence.
Learn more about slip, trip and fall claims.
A TPD claim is made under an insurance policy held through a superannuation fund or directly with an insurer. Eligibility and any payout amount depend on the policy wording, employment history and medical evidence.
We can assist with locating cover, gathering records and managing communication with the insurer or superannuation fund. Learn more about TPD superannuation claims.
Other services include medical negligence, public liability, psychological injury, industrial disease and serious injury claims, including claims involving brain, spinal, back and neck injuries.
Our approach is based on clear communication and practical guidance. During an obligation-free initial consultation, a compensation lawyer can discuss how the injury occurred, explain the compensation claim or insurance claim process that may apply, and outline relevant time limits, evidence requirements and legal costs.
If you decide to proceed, we can provide legal assistance throughout the claim process. This may include gathering medical records and expert reports, dealing directly with insurers and providing legal representation if negotiations or court proceedings are required.
There is no cost for the initial consultation and no obligation to proceed. You can contact us by phone, or email. Our lawyers based in Brisbane and the Gold Coast assist clients across Queensland, From Cairns to Toowoomba, Rockhampton to Mackay, we’ve got your compensation claim covered
Whether it is worth making a claim depends on the type and severity of the injury, the financial loss involved, the available evidence and the legal pathway that applies. An obligation-free initial consultation can help you understand whether a claim may be available, the process involved and any time limits or costs you should consider.
Strict time limits and notice requirements apply to Queensland CTP claims, and important evidence can become harder to obtain over time. You do not need to contact a lawyer immediately after an accident, but seeking advice early can help you understand the applicable deadlines, evidence requirements and claim process.
Different requirements may also apply where an accident involved an uninsured or unidentified vehicle.

For people seeking compensation, the amount available in personal injury claims depends on the type of claim, individual circumstances and supporting evidence. It may account for treatment and rehabilitation, past and future income loss, care requirements, and pain and suffering. Any income protection or TPD benefits available under an insurance policy are assessed separately.
