Why Work With a Personal Injury Lawyer in Cairns?

Your best course of action is to work with a Cairns personal injury lawyer to represent you in an accident that was the result of someone else’s negligence. The legal process for compensation claims is complex, especially when the other party disputes liability or multiple people are at fault.

Generally, a large insurance company will be responsible for funding your lump sum payout, and they will seek to exploit your lack of legal knowledge by making a low settlement offer or denying your claims. An experienced lawyer will negotiate on your behalf, securing a premium outcome.

Your Legal Right to Claim Compensation for a Personal Injury

Several pieces of legislation in Queensland protect your right to claim personal injury compensation. Your case might fall under one or more of the following categories, depending on the circumstances of your accident:

FNQ Compensation Claim Time Limits

In general, you have three years from the date of your accident to file court proceedings in Queensland. Some accident types have much shorter time frames, particularly car accidents.

Missing this strict time limit means you will likely be blocked from claiming your compensation entitlements. So, if you believe you have a legitimate personal injury claim, your best strategy is to get in touch with our local lawyers and solicitors immediately. Please know that taking swift action often leads to a premium outcome. Get immediate support now by Calling 1800 700 125.

The Importance of Hiring a Cairns Personal Injury Lawyer

You should know the importance of hiring a Cairns personal injury lawyer when seeking compensation for an injury-related loss. An expert lawyer or solicitor:

  1. Understands the claims process
  2. How to negotiate with insurance companies
  3. And how to get you the best possible outcome.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

When you have a successful personal injury compensation claim, an insurance company typically funds your lump sum payment. Unsurprisingly, the insurer will seek to lower their level of liability by:

  • Finding a reason to say you contributed to the accident (were partially liable)
  • Challenging the severity of your injuries
  • Minimising its impact on your life

Thankfully, the team at Splatt Lawyers Cairns have been negotiating with aggressive insurance companies for many years and understands the techniques they use to reduce your entitlements. Our focus is to deliver your best outcome, and we have the legal smarts to make that a reality.

Car Accident Lawyers

One of the frequent reasons for personal injury claims in Cairns is motor vehicle accidents. To have a successful car accident claim, your injury must result from negligent driving. One of the primary factors for lodging a case is knowing who is the at-fault driver. Even if you were partly to blame (contributory negligence) for the collision, you could still have a case.

When the unexpected happens, and you have an accident on FNQ roads, the compulsory third-party insurer of the negligent driver is liable to fund your personal injury damages claim.

Our Cairns accident lawyers have a great deal of experience pursuing the legal rights of injured people through MAIC. Contact Splatt Lawyers for assistance with the following:
