In Queensland, you have the legal right to claim a compensation payout when the negligence of another person or party physically or mentally harms you. An insurance company is usually liable to fund your damages compensation. There are several types of claims you could make based on your circumstances.
When you have a successful compensation claim, the insurer pays lump-sum benefits to restore your life to where it would be had the accident not happened.
Splatt Lawyers will fund your insurance claim on a 100% No Win, No Fee basis, which means you only pay our fees and costs when you win and zero if you lose – including the cost of any medical or expert reports needed to create a compelling case to achieve your desired outcome!
Our No Win, No Fee, No Risk guarantee means that:

The value of an insurance compensation payout is determined using ‘heads of damages”, which assesses the evidence against each claimable component. These can be divided into two categories: general damages (or economic damages) and non-economic damages. How much compensation you receive relies on these factors.
Economic damages are material losses that have a financial value. This type of compensation is calculated using the injured person’s actual expenses, such as medical treatment costs, lost income, travel expenses, and property damage.
A damages payout aims to reimburse medical expenses such as hospital fees, ambulance costs, medication, surgical costs, rehabilitation expenses, and future medical needs.
Includes compensation for wages lost due to your condition. In some circumstances, the claimant may be eligible for a lump sum permanent impairment payout when the damage leads to a long-term disability that stops them from working. A successful personal injury claim can also include damages for estimated future income,
An insurance damages payout can include legitimate home care costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, including care provided by your family and others.
Travel costs related to medical treatment are included in a successful personal injury payout.
Relates to personal property, like a damaged motor vehicle. The expense of repairing or replacing the damaged property is considered when calculating compensation payouts. (Note: you typically do not need a lawyer for property damage claims.)
Non-economic damages are perceived losses that are challenging to value financially. These include mental anguish, lost enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and lost companionship. Calculating the value of non-economic damages is more subjective compared to economic losses.
Pain and suffering compensation relates to the claimant’s immediate and long-term emotional suffering as a result of the accident. Pain and suffering claims aim to ease the injured person’s distress and reduce its impact on their life.

Refers to losing the capacity to participate in pastimes and interests enjoyed before the accident. When the claimant has reduced capacity for these activities, compensation may improve their quality of life.
Considers the emotional impacts of the accident, like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other psychological ailments related to the injury. Compensation for emotional distress recognises the effect of the accident on mental health.
This is compensation granted to the claimant’s domestic partner. It makes up for what the injury or illness has removed regarding love, companionship, and the capacity to maintain a typical relationship.

Most people only have one compensation claim in their lifetime and will often choose a No-Win, No-Fee law firm to manage their case. It is natural to consider how you will be charged and who checks your bill for accuracy. Most Queensland compensation law firms use timed billing, which means your legal team will charge you by the hour for work on your matter; they should not charge a percentage of your personal injury claim payout.
At the same time, some lawyers might use questionable billing procedures; an external legal billing firm reviews all Splatt Lawyer’s legal files. They’re responsible for examining how we bill every legal matter so our fees are open and honest. We’re committed to fair treatment for all our Queensland clients.
