How much would my compensation payout amounts be?
How much money you will receive for a personal injury strongly depends upon many factors…
Are you seeking help with workplace injury compensation or injury at work compensation?
The compensation payout received is relative to the impact an injury has on you. There is no one chart or payment that fits all injuries, and firms that state that are not giving you the truth.
The specific factors that are considered are:
Your own personal circumstances such as your age, your injuries, and your employment
The circumstances in which your accident took place in Queensland
Most importantly, your lawyer’s knowledge and experience, and many more aspects
We’ve answered more of your questions below, but you’re welcome to contact us for free at anytime to discuss.
It costs nothing to assess your claim for compensation if car accident injury or workplace related, and it’s wise to know your legal options quickly as time limits are a key factor, so get in touch or read/watch more below.

Yes indeed, every accident compensation claim is different, because injuries affect everyone in different ways. This is the case across all injury claims, from compensation payouts for car accidents to compensation for injury at work claims.
A professional pianist, for instance, is likely to suffer a greater loss of income from losing his/her little finger than say, an accountant, because a professional pianist likely cannot continue in his or her occupation without their little finger.
The professional pianist would therefore likely receive a greater compensation payout.
