Personal injury lawyers can be expensive, so without offering a no win no fee legal service, most people couldn’t afford to make a personal injury compensation claim, unless it was on a no win no fee basis. At GC Law, we offer our No Win – No Fee guarantee to all approved cases.
Why No Win - No Fee?
How No Win - No Fee Works
What is No Win - No Fee?
Under the No Win No Fee arrangement you only pay legal costs if you win. Sometimes however, depending on the nature of your injury, the number of parties involved or the amount of compensation at stake, lawyers may charge a “success fee”.
A success fee is typically an amount added to the total legal costs at the end of the compensation claim. In Queensland a success fee of up to 25% is permitted.
What are Contingency Fees?
A contingency fee is the name given to the fee that a lawyer will charge at the end of the case calculated as a percentage of the amount of the settlement. Contingency fees for personal injury claims in Australia are illegal.
There must be a basis for calculating the lawyers fees, other than as a percentage of the amount recovered, like for example hourly rates or court scales.
Is No Win No Fee available in all cases?
However, before we accept a case on a No Win No Fee basis we need to assess the case according to our criteria, which includes, whether your claim has reasonable prospects of success; and whether the amount of compensation recoverable in the case makes making the claim worthwhile for you in the first place, after payment of legal costs and expenses.
Why Legal Advice Early Makes a Difference
Queensland personal injury claims are subject to strict time limits and pre-court procedures, particularly for motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries. Early legal advice ensures your rights are protected, evidence is preserved, and required notices are lodged within the statutory timeframes.
Seeking advice under a No Win No Fee arrangement allows you to understand the strength of your claim without financial risk. A proper assessment at the outset helps determine whether your claim has reasonable prospects of success and whether the likely compensation outcome justifies proceeding.
Taking early action can significantly improve your chances of achieving a fair settlement.
