Our personal injury and compensation lawyers are committed to winning your case and maximising your total payout. This dedication has earned us multiple accolades, including ‘Compensation Law Firm of the Year 2020 GBM Global Awards.’
For over 25 years, our personal injury lawyers have helped Brisbane residents secure the compensation they’re entitled to.
Below are some common claims we handle. Depending on your case, you could be eligible for more than one type of claim.
Leon Monaco founded our firm in 1999 with a simple mission: to make justice accessible to all Australians.
Twenty-five years and thousands of successful claims later, we’ve grown to 29 locations nationwide, including our Brisbane CBD office. Despite this rapid expansion, our commitment remains the same — helping Australians secure fast, fair, and affordable compensation.
When you work with a personal injury lawyer from our Brisbane office, you can expect:
Across Brisbane and greater Queensland, strict time limits apply to most personal injury claims. The exact deadline varies based on the type of claim, but acting quickly is essential to protect your right to compensation.
Typically, you need to start your claim within 3 years of the accident date.
You’ll have 3 years from the date of the accident to start your claim.
You have 6 months from the accident date to start your claim.
While most TPD claims don’t have strict deadlines unless stated in your policy, it’s best to lodge your claim as soon as possible. Delays can make it harder to collect evidence and — in our experience — super funds are more likely to deny claims that aren’t filed promptly.
If you’ve been injured, you might be unsure whether to hire a personal injury lawyer or handle the claim yourself. While you can go it alone, having an experienced lawyer can greatly increase your chances of receiving the full compensation you deserve — not just for medical expenses and lost income, but also for your pain, suffering, and future costs.
Insurance companies often push for quick, low settlements, hoping claimants accept less than they’re entitled to. Without strong legal representation, you risk settling for far less than your case is worth.
Your personal injury lawyer takes care of everything: from gathering crucial evidence to negotiating with insurers. Plus, with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no financial risk. Contact us today for a free consultation and learn how we can help you secure maximum compensation for your injuries.
Many Brisbane personal injury lawyers advertise ‘No Win No Fee’ services, claiming you won’t pay anything unless you win. But not all of these arrangements are as straightforward as they seem.
Some firms take as much as 50% of your compensation if they win your claim. Plus, if your claim is unsuccessful, their No Win No Fee policies may only cover their legal fees — not additional expenses like court costs or expert reports.
At Monaco, we do things differently. Our fees are fair and capped at 30% of your payout. In many cases, we recover these costs from the other side — so you keep more (if not all) of your hard-earned compensation.
Before we take on your case, we’ll provide a clear, upfront cost breakdown so there are no surprises. And unlike some firms, our No Win No Fee guarantee is exactly what it claims to be — if we don’t win, you owe us nothing. No hidden fees, no fine print.
Absolutely! If you’re unhappy with your current personal injury lawyer, you have the right to switch at any time. Whether they’re not keeping you informed, not fighting hard enough for your compensation, or simply don’t feel like the right fit, you’re not stuck with them.
If you choose to move your case to Monaco, we’ll handle the entire process for you — contacting your previous lawyer, arranging the transfer of case files, and ensuring a seamless transition.
Not sure if changing lawyers is the right step? Our Brisbane personal injury lawyers offer free second opinions, giving you the information you need to make the best choice for your case.
Depending on your case, your personal injury compensation could include:
The amount you receive depends on factors like the severity of your injury, your pre-injury earnings, and whether you’re able to return to work.
Compensation is designed to restore what you’ve lost due to your injury, but calculating the full impact isn’t always straightforward. That’s why having an experienced personal injury lawyer is crucial. They’ll ensure your claim covers all your losses, not just the obvious ones.
For minor injuries, your compensation may only cover lost wages and medical bills. But if your injury is severe or life-altering, you could be entitled to a significant lump sum.

While every personal injury claim in Brisbane (and throughout Queensland) is unique, most cases follow a similar process:
Reach out to our Brisbane team, and one of our personal injury lawyers will take the time to understand your situation. They’ll ask key questions, explain your options, and provide tailored legal advice. If you move forward with us, the same lawyer will guide your case from start to finish.
Your lawyer will collect important details from medical professionals, your employer, and any witnesses to build a strong case. This helps establish the full extent of your injury and how it has impacted your life.
We work with a trusted network of medical and liability experts to strengthen your claim. Any necessary reports, specialist opinions, or medical tests will be arranged at no upfront cost to you.
Once all the evidence is in place, we begin legal proceedings. The majority of personal injury claims — over 95% — are settled outside of court through negotiation. Your lawyer will handle all discussions with the insurer, fighting for the best possible outcome.
If an agreement isn’t reached, your lawyer will advise you on the next steps and explore your options.
With a proven history of securing strong results, we’re committed to getting you the maximum compensation available. Once your case is resolved, you’ll receive your payout, either as a lump sum or through ongoing payments.

The time frame for settling a personal injury claim varies based on several factors, including the complexity of your case and the severity of your injuries. While some claims can be resolved in just a few months, others — especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability — may take longer.
Each case moves through different stages, such as gathering medical evidence, filing paperwork, and negotiating with insurers. The timeline also depends on whether a fair settlement is reached early or if further legal action is required.
