Claims our Brisbane personal injury lawyers assist with

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.

Why are we the best personal injury lawyers in Brisbane?

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:

  • Expert guidance on the full value of your claim.
  • A strong case backed by leading industry experts.
  • Tough negotiation tactics and standing up to insurers.
  • A strategic approach to challenging opposing evidence.
  • Clear and consistent communication throughout your case.
  • Meticulous legal document preparation.
  • No upfront costs under our No Win No Fee guarantee.
  • A relentless fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

Compensation and personal injury FAQs

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.

Car and motor vehicle accident claims

Typically, you need to start your claim within 3 years of the accident date.

Public liability or medical negligence claims

You’ll have 3 years from the date of the accident to start your claim.

Workers compensation claims

You have 6 months from the accident date to start your claim.

TPD claims

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:

  • Lost wages and future earning potential.
  • Superannuation contributions (both past and future).
  • Medical expenses, rehabilitation, and hospital costs (both past and future).
  • Professional care and at-home support.
  • Assistance from family and friends.
  • The loss of your ability to care for dependents.
  • Compensation for pain, suffering, and the impact on your daily life.

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.

Want to know what you’re eligible for? Speak with one of our Brisbane personal injury lawyers today.

While every personal injury claim in Brisbane (and throughout Queensland) is unique, most cases follow a similar process:

1. Get started with a free consultation

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.

2. Gathering records and evidence

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.

3. Consulting industry experts

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.

4. Starting the legal process

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.

5. Receiving your compensation

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.

Ready to get started? Contact our Brisbane personal injury lawyers today.

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.

At Monaco, our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you as efficiently as possible. During your free consultation, our Brisbane personal injury lawyers will evaluate your case and provide an estimate of how long the process may take.

Monaco helped me get much more compensation than I expected.

Monaco Lawyers helped me to receive compensation for an ongoing injury I sustained after I was simply driving home from work and was driven into head on by an incompetent and negligent driver who I believe was texting at the time of the accident.

StarStarStarStarStar

I am forever thankful! God bless you for being there for me whenever I called.

Monaco Compensation Lawyers are second to no-one. Anthony and his team were there for me every step of the way. When I got disheartened or down, I would make one phone call to the team at Monaco Solicitors, and they were there for me instantly—reassuring me and consoling me.

StarStarStarStarStar

Good result! We had a complicated claim but they got the job done.

My brothers and I had a complicated claim. I found Ben Ralph to be very helpful, himself and Sally Sutton worked hard for just over a year to get through our claim. They achieved a good result and got the monies paid to myself and my brothers.

I knew it from the very first phone call: I had found a compassionate law firm.

Monaco Solicitors, I have no hesitation in recommending Daniella Dababneh and her team. After I suffered a serious workplace accident, I was in need of legal help.

StarStarStarStarStar

Thank you for accomplishing so much in such a short time.

Great communication, empathy and understanding. My case worker Daniella was a saint, understanding and patient and always passing on any updates in record time.

Monaco is the place to go for a lawyer that cares. You're in safe hands.

They helped me when I needed it the most. Monaco are very informative and genuinely care about the outcome of your matter. Navigating the CTP, ICP and TPD system can be very overwhelming. They reduce this where every they can.

StarStarStarStarStar

They helped me juggle my injury claim and my mum's full-time care.

I highly recommend Monaco Solicitors. I was claiming PI through my superannuation for workplace injuries. They were doing a no win no fee which was great as I am a carer for my mum and don’t earn much.

StarStarStarStarStar

The bill? Surprisingly reasonable, less than expected.

Sally was very helpful and always kept me up-to-date so if you ever use Monaco Solicitors just make sure you get Sally she’s very good. And the bill was very reasonable I thought it would be higher.

I'm glad my friend recommended Monaco. I was happy with the result.

Green Slip Claim: I switched from another Law firm to Monaco on advice from a friend. I am so glad I did, within weeks I was sent off for further scans which led to proof of the pain I was in. All throughout the claim process I was kept up to date. Once settled I was more than happy with the end result. I would definitely recommend Monaco Compensation Lawyers, thanks.

Monaco's help reduced a 12-month process to just a few months.

My father originally found Monaco online for super claims,. They had discussed with him in great detail the processes and had been kind and very helpful a few years ago. When needing help with my mothers super claim I knew I could trust Monaco again.
