Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims
Q. What does “No Win No Fee” really mean?
A. It means you pay zero legal fees unless we win your case. We cover all upfront costs. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
Q. How much could my claim be worth?
A. While every case is different, your claim value is typically calculated based on:
Economic Loss: Past and future lost earnings
Medical Expenses: Treatment, surgery, and medication
Pain and Suffering: Damages for loss of enjoyment of life
Care Costs: Paid or gratuitous care services

Q. Will I have to go to court?
A. The majority of personal injury claims settle through negotiation. We prepare every claim as if it will go to trial, but we negotiate aggressively for fair settlements. Most clients never step foot in a courtroom.
Q. Is there a time limit?
A. Yes. Strict time limits apply. WorkCover claims usually require action within 30 days. TAC claims generally within 12 months. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
Q. What if my claim was already denied?
A. Call us immediately. Our lawyers have a strong track record of overturning denied WorkCover claims. Insurers often deny valid claims, hoping you’ll give up. We know how to gather the right evidence and fight their decision.
Q. Do I really need a lawyer?
A. Yes. Insurance companies have entire legal teams dedicated to minimising payouts. You need an expert family on your side to level the playing field and secure your full compensation.
Q. Will my employer know if I make a WorkCover claim?
A. Yes, WorkCover claims must be lodged with WorkSafe Victoria. However, Victorian law protects you from retaliation or dismissal for making a legitimate claim.
Q. How do I start a WorkCover claim?
A. Report the injury to your employer, see a Doctor for medical evidence, and complete the WorkCover claim form. Contact us for expert legal advice early to protect your entitlements.
