Personal Injury Claims We Handle in Rockhampton

Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of compensation claims for Rockhampton residents. Whether your injury happened on the road, at work, or in a public place (or any other place), we can assess your eligibility and advise you on your rights during a free consult.

Road Accident Claims

Central Queensland roads carry heavy traffic from mining vehicles, trucks, and freight transport. If you were injured in a car, motorcycle, truck, or pedestrian accident on the Capricorn Highway, Bruce Highway, or any local road, you may be entitled to a CTP compensation claim.

We can assist with:

Rockhampton is a hub for mining, agriculture, construction, and healthcare. Workplace injuries are common across these industries. If you have been hurt at work, you may have a WorkCover claim or a common law damages claim against your employer.

We handle:

Have you been injured in a public place, such as a shop or someone else’s property? You may have a public liability claim. Property owners and businesses in Queensland have a legal duty of care to keep their premises safe, including Stockland Rockhampton Shopping Centre and City Centre Plaza.

We assist with:

If your injury or illness has left you unable to work, you may be entitled to a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) payout through your superannuation fund.

Many Rockhampton residents don’t realise they have this entitlement.

Not sure which type of claim applies to your situation? Call us on 1800 700 125, and we will tell you exactly where you stand during a free claim assessment.

What Compensation Can You Claim?

A successful personal injury claim in Queensland can cover much more than just your immediate medical bills. Our compensation lawyers can prepare a comprehensive statement of damages that considers all your entitlements.

Type of Compensation
What it Covers
Medical expenses
Hospital, surgery, physiotherapy, medication, and ongoing treatment costs
Lost income
Wages and salary lost while you were unable to work due to your injury
Future lost earnings
Projected income you will lose if your injury affects your long-term capacity to work
Pain and suffering
General damages for the physical and psychological impact of your injury
Rehabilitation costs
Occupational therapy, home modifications, and support services
Care and assistance
Costs of care provided by others, including family members, while you recover
Out-of-pocket expenses
Travel to medical appointments, equipment, and other incidental costs

Key point: Queensland’s personal injury law is complex and has strict time limits.

  • Most claims must be started within three years of the date of injury.
  • Missing this deadline can cost you your right to compensation entirely.

If you are unsure whether your injury qualifies or how much your claim may be worth, our personal injury compensation assessment is completely free.

Why Choose Splatt Lawyers for Your Rockhampton Claim?

You can choose from several personal injury law firms in Rockhampton and Central Queensland. Here is why you should choose Splatt Lawyers

Led by an Accredited Specialist

Kerry Splatt holds the highest professional recognition available in Queensland personal injury law: accreditation by the Queensland Law Society as a Specialist in Personal Injury Law.

Fewer than 5% of Queensland lawyers hold this qualification. It means your case is assessed and guided by someone with proven expertise, not a generalist.

Our No Risk Guarantee is exactly what it says:

  • No upfront costs. We fund your claim from start to finish, including medical reports and expert assessments.
  • No legal fees if you lose. If we do not win, you pay nothing.
  • Fees capped by law. Under Queensland’s Legal Profession Act, our fees can never exceed your settlement amount.

You can read more about how our no-win, no-fee model works on our fees page.

You do not need to travel to Brisbane to access specialist legal advice. We regularly attend to clients in Rockhampton and throughout Central Queensland, including Yeppoon, Gladstone, Emerald, Biloela, and Blackwater.

  • If you are in hospital or unable to leave home, we will come to you.
  • We also have offices in Townsville and Cairns.

Splatt Lawyers is a personal injury-only firm. We do not practise commercial law, criminal law, or family law. Every case we take is a compensation claim.

That focus means our Rockhampton lawyers know this area of law well, and our processes are built to get the best settlement outcomes for injured Queenslanders.

Since the early 1990s, Splatt Lawyers has helped thousands of Queenslanders understand their legal rights after a serious injury.

Our long track record across Queensland means our legal team knows the insurers, assessors, and the process involved—and we use that knowledge to support your case.

How the Personal Injury Claim Process Works

Making a personal injury claim can feel overwhelming, especially while you are still recovering. Think of the process as a series of clear steps that can be handled by a lawyer so you can focus on getting better.

  1. Free initial legal advice. Splatt personal injury lawyers can assess your situation and tell you whether you have a viable claim — at no cost and with no obligation.
  2. Eligibility and evidence gathering. We identify the correct claim type (CTP, WorkCover, public liability, or TPD), gather medical records, incident reports, and witness statements, and advise you on time limits.
  3. Notice of claim. For most Queensland personal injury claims, a formal Notice of Claim must be lodged with the relevant insurer within strict timeframes.
  4. Medical assessment. An independent medical examiner assesses your injuries to determine the degree of permanent impairment, which directly affects your compensation entitlement.
  5. Negotiation and settlement. We negotiate with the insurer on your behalf. Most claims settle without going to court. If the insurer disputes your claim or makes an unreasonable offer, we are prepared to litigate.
  6. Settlement and payment. Once a settlement is reached, funds are paid to you. Our fees are deducted from the settlement, not charged upfront. If you lose, you owe nothing.

Compensation Lawyers Rockhampton FAQs

How long does a compensation claim take?

Most personal injury claims in Queensland resolve within 12 to 24 months. Complex cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take longer. We keep you informed at every stage.

You can also read our guide on how long a personal injury claim takes.

  • No. We help clients in Rockhampton and across Central Queensland by phone, video, and in person when needed.
  • If you cannot travel, we can arrange to meet you at home, in hospital, or at another suitable location.

Our Rockhampton legal team handles road accident claims, WorkCover claims, public liability claims, and TPD claims.

If your injury happened in a car crash, at work, in a shop, or has stopped you from working, we can offer a free case assessment.

Nothing upfront. We also offer a 100% no-win, no-fee service, so you do not pay legal fees unless we win your case. Owe nothing if you lose.

We also cover claim costs during the matter, including reports and expert evidence.

Most personal injury claims in Queensland must be started within three years of the injury date, but some claims have shorter time limits.

Get advice as soon as possible to avoid missing a deadline.

You could still have a valid claim even if you helped cause the injury. That’s because Queensland personal injury laws allow for contributory negligence, which can reduce compensation if you were partly responsible.

We can explain how fault may affect your matter.
