How Much Compensation for A Personal Injury?

In Queensland, the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (QLD) safeguards your right to claim damages when you suffer a financial loss due to someone else’s negligence. The compensation payout amount is calculated based on the extent of your loss, considering factors like:

  • Injury type and severity
  • How much your injury has altered your life.
  • Your current job and income

When approved, an injured person can claim economic and non-economic losses including:

  • Past and future lost wages and earnings
  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation expenses
  • Cost of care and assistance
  • Travel expenses related to treatment.
  • Pain, suffering and lost enjoyment of life

Personal Injury Lawyers Brisbane FAQ's

What is a personal injury lawyer?

Best personal injury lawyers Brisbane

A personal injury lawyer represents people who have been physically or psychologically injured because of another person’s or organisation’s negligence. They explain your rights, gather evidence, manage insurer negotiations and pursue compensation on your behalf.

Common evidence includes:

  • Medical records
  • GP notes
  • Hospital reports
  • Incident reports
  • Photos and video
  • Witness statements
  • Rehabilitation notes
  • Proof of lost wages

Splatt Lawyers can explain the process of gathering and organising the evidence to support a case.

  • Most personal injury claims settle within 9 to 18 months.
  • Complex, severe or catastrophic injury cases may take longer due to ongoing medical assessments and the need to understand long-term impacts before valuing damages.
  • Queensland has strict time limits. In most cases, you must commence legal proceedings within three years of the incident date.
  • Some exceptions apply, such as for minors or cases where the injury was not immediately known.

Splatt Lawyers can advise on your timeframe during your free consultation.

Yes, you can start legal action when an injury is caused by someone else’s negligent act or failure to act. Common examples include:

  • Workplace injuries
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Public liability incidents
  • Some forms of professional negligence

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide reasonable care, and their actions (or inaction) cause harm. This can include:

  • Misdiagnosis
  • Delayed treatment
  • Procedural errors
  • Wrong medication

Splatt Lawyers does not provide advice for medical negligence matters.

  • Most Queensland personal injury claims settle successfully once liability and medical evidence are established.
  • Outcomes depend on the strength of the documentation, timely reporting and ongoing medical assessments.

There is no single “average” payout because settlements vary depending on:

  • Injury severity
  • Time away from work
  • Your current age and salary
  • Medical expenses and long-term impact
  • The extent of pain and suffering

Claims in Queensland are calculated according to strict statutory guidelines that assess economic and non-economic loss.

Settlement values depend on:

  • The type and severity of injury
  • Pain and suffering
  • Age and earning capacity
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Medical and rehabilitation costs
  • Future economic loss

Splatt Lawyers provides a free review to explain how these factors apply to your case.

  • The general limitation is three years from the date of injury. Some exceptions apply, particularly for minors or delayed-awareness injuries.
  • Failing to meet the deadline can prevent you from making a claim.

Under Queensland law, legal fees for personal injury matters are capped, and firms cannot charge more than the amount a client receives.

Splatt Lawyers operates on a 100% no-win, no-fee, no-risk basis, meaning you only pay legal fees if a claim succeeds.
