How Much is Personal Injury Compensation Worth?

The value of your personal injury compensation depends on how much your injury has changed your life now and in the future. Your legal right to claim damages is outlined in the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (QLD), and considers these ‘heads of damages’ when calculating compensation:

  • The severity and nature of your injuries
  • How much your life has been altered
  • Your occupation and current income

An injured person can claim damages for:

  • Lost earnings – past and future
  • Past and future medical costs
  • Rehabilitation costs and treatment expenses
  • Medical-related travel expenses
  • Lost enjoyment of life
  • Cost of domestic assistance

Personal Injury Lawyers Townsville FAQs

How much you receive for a QLD CTP claim payout depends mainly on the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life. Hence, average CTP payout values vary considerably in Queensland.

In Queensland, Section 347 of the Legal Profession Act regulates the percentage a personal injury lawyer can charge. This rule limits the amount your law firm can charge to 50% of a compensation settlement. However, Splatt Lawyers calculates fees on the work required to resolve a claim (not a percentage). Furthermore, all our files are independently cost-audited.
