Avoid the usual pitfalls of Brisbane workers' compensation claims
Navigating a workers' compensation claim can feel overwhelming and confusing, especially if it’s your first time dealing with the process. Oftentimes, personal injury law firms neglect to properly support claimants, leading to reduced payouts, prolonged settlements and unnecessary stress.
That’s why we prioritise your needs at every step of the journey and help you avoid the following pitfalls:
While "No Win, No Fee" offers may seem appealing, many personal injury firms impose hidden costs that significantly increase the total legal fees clients must pay. One example is the "uplift fee," which can increase a lawyer’s standard fee by up to 25%, making legal costs much higher than initially expected. Some firms also pressure clients into high-interest loans to cover evidence costs, further inflating expenses. These practices can leave claimants with far less of their rightful compensation than they deserve.
A common frustration for claimants is feeling left in the dark by their law firm. Common complaints include, 'I can never reach my lawyer,' and 'Why isn’t my claim progressing?' Too often, claimants only learn the real details on settlement day.
Many claimants fall into the trap of accepting an initial settlement offer because they feel pressured by their lawyer who is rushing to close cases for their own convenience. Unfortunately, these offers often undervalue future medical expenses, income losses, and pain and suffering.
Many firms focus solely on the paperwork aspects of your claim, leaving you to manage your own medical care, recovery, and rehabilitation. Without proper support, it becomes difficult to make a full recovery, even if you get a decent payout.

3 important things to know about workers' compensation law in Brisbane
As part of our transparent approach, we help you understand the legal process.
You are claiming against the insurance, not your employer
Under Brisbane law, workers' compensation claims are made through WorkCover Queensland or a self-insured employer’s insurance policy, not directly against your employer. This ensures you can focus on your recovery without worrying about workplace conflict.
Workers compensation claims are usually straightforward
Brisbane’s workers’ compensation system is designed to be accessible and efficient. Most claims follow a clear process toward fair compensation, including coverage for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and, in some cases, lump-sum payments for permanent impairments. It is important to seek legal advice early, especially if your claim is denied or your injury was caused by employer negligence.
Time limits apply - act fast
In Brisbane, you must lodge your workers' compensation claim within 6 months of the date of your injury. Missing this deadline could jeopardise your right to compensation. Don't wait - contact us today.
