FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our practice and how we work.

How do I know if I have a claim?

Most personal injury compensation claims involve the application of legislation or the common law, which is case law developed by judges, courts and tribunals, or a combination of these.

For example, in Queensland, claiming compensation and damages for a work related injury involves the application of both legislation and common law principles. An injured worker is entitled to claim compensation for a workplace injury and, depending on where and in what circumstances the injury arose, may also be entitled to ‘common law damages’.

The best way to know if you have a claim worth pursuing is to get advice from one of our personal injury lawyers.

Our expert personal injury lawyers will ensure that you recover everything you’re entitled to. Depending on the type of claim, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
  • loss of past and future earnings and associated superannuation
  • past and future hospital and medical expenses (including surgical costs)
  • ongoing or future anticipated rehabilitation and treatment expenses
  • out of pocket expenses for items such as pharmaceutical, travel and equipment
  • care provided by friends or family
  • paid care and help, for example yard maintenance or nursing and
  • home and vehicle modifications.

Every case is different. The next best step is to speak with Hall Payne Lawyers about what you may be entitled to.

Strict time limits apply to most compensation claims. If you miss a time limit, you may lose your entitlement to compensation. After an injury, it’s important to get advice as soon as possible about the time limits that apply to you.

Hall Payne Lawyers understands this can be an incredibly challenging time. Financial pressure can make everything feel overwhelming. Starting your claim sooner can help you access compensation and give you peace of mind.

You can, but an experienced lawyer is far more likely to get you the outcome you deserve. With compensation claims you are dealing with an insurer or body whose goal is to keep your compensation to a minimum. A lawyer who knows the area of law, will know what you’re entitled to, and how to ensure you are fairly compensated.

Hall Payne Lawyers recommends engaging an experienced compensation lawyer to represent you or, at the very least, obtaining reliable advice at the outset.

We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your injury and the circumstances in which it arose. We’ll also provide an estimate of legal costs and the likely timeframes for your claim.

If we consider you have prospects of winning your case then we will represent you on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
