No Win No Fee Personal Injury Lawyers Cairns

Cairns Injury Lawyers work with clients throughout Queensland on personal injury and compensation claims, including:

  • WorkCover claims –arising from an accident or injury at work
  • Motor vehicle accident claims – whether you are the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident, a passenger in a motor vehicle involved in an accident, or a pedestrian or cyclist involved in a motor vehicle accident
  • Public liability claims – when you are injured in a public space
  • Dependency claims – when you are the financial dependents (such as the children, wives or husbands) of a person who has been killed in an accident.

It is essential to identify the type of claim that you’re entitled to make before you run out of time. There are strict time limits that apply to most personal injury claims, and it’s common that a claim can fall into more than one of the categories above.

Your injuries, and the circumstances of the accident in which they happened, need to be closely investigated at the earliest opportunity to identify all possible legal claims and all possible defendants.

Failing to identify the type of personal injury claim, or the right to bring a claim across more than one category, can mean you lose the legal right to compensation. 

If you still have questions or if you would like some legal advice about making a workers compensation claim, please contact our expert workers compensation lawyers in Cairns on 4052 0760.
