Types of Claims for Personal Injury in Brisbane
Many people suffer injuries and aren’t aware they may be entitled to compensation. If you’ve been injured at the fault of another or from negligence, you may have a claim, including:
Public liability
There’s a duty of care to provide a safe environment to others, whether you’re in a public place, business, another person’s home or a council-owned property. An injury sustained in one of these places may entitle you to make a personal injury claim against the other party or their public liability insurer.
Motor vehicle collision
Injuries, like whiplash, broken bones and trauma, can be common in motor vehicle accidents. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian or other injured party of a motor vehicle accident where you weren’t at fault, you may have a claim for personal injury.
Medical negligence
Medical professionals have a duty of care to their patients. If you’ve been in a situation where a professional has acted negligent, omitted information, deviates from standards of their practice, or has caused injury or death, you (or your family) may be entitled to pursue compensation for medical negligence or malpractice.
Workplace accidents
WorkCover or workers’ compensation covers you if you’re injured or become ill at work. It can help cover hospital expenses, lost wages, travel expenses, return to work therapy and other expenses and costs related to your pain, suffering and recuperation. We can help you determine if you have a legitimate case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law
How are personal injury settlements determined?
Personal injury claim settlements can vary greatly depending on the type and severity of the injury. An injury scale value, or ISV, is often used to calculate general pain and suffering in Queensland to help regulate and determine payouts. Booking a consultation with a personal injury lawyer can help you get a settlement estimate based on your personal situation.
What is the most common personal injury claim?
In Queensland, the most common personal injury claims tend to be workplace injuries, known as WorkCover claims, and motor vehicle accident (CTP) claims. There are also other types of claims for personal injury, such as negligence, breach of duty of care, accidents in public places, emotional trauma and more. The type of claim can impact your potential compensation, so it’s always best to speak to a personal injury lawyer for relevant information for your claim and injury.
What happens in a personal injury claim?
When you are injured, whether in the workplace, an accident or other situation, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, ensuring there are records of the incident and your injuries. You should also gather any photos of the incident, witness statements, police reports and other documentation. Seeking legal representation can also help you navigate the claims process easily. Once your claim has been lodged, the party responsible for the accident or the insurer will be notified, and an investigation will commence. Negotiation will typically occur to reach an agreed upon amount for compensation, before settlement of the claim where you receive compensation. If settlement cannot be reached, and you wish to pursue the claim, your matter may go to court.
How much do personal injury lawyers cost in Brisbane?
Personal injury lawyers in Brisbane typically operate under a no win, no fee basis, which means you do not pay unless your claim is successful. The lawyer will take a percentage of your settlement amount, which is capped at 50% of the net settlement amount in Queensland, at most. In most cases, your fees will be lower than the 50%. During your consultation, your personal injury lawyer should advise of their fees for your case.
