      Keep in mind, you might be eligible for more than one type of claim. As part of our comprehensive service, your Gold Coast personal injury lawyer will look into every possible claim, ensuring you get the maximum payout for your injury.

      Why choose our Gold Coast personal injury lawyers?

      Founded in 1999 by Leon Monaco, our firm was built on a simple mission: to make justice accessible to all Australians.

      Over 25 years and thousands of successful claims later, we’ve expanded to 29 offices nationwide, including our Gold Coast CBD location — but our commitment remains the same: securing fast, fair, and affordable compensation.

      • Expert evidence from leading medical and liability experts.
      • Skilled negotiation and the experience to stand up to insurers.
      • A strong strategy to challenge evidence from the opposition.
      • Clear, consistent communication throughout your claim.
      • Careful preparation of all legal documents.
      • No upfront costs with our No Win No Fee guarantee.
      • Relentless pursuit of the maximum compensation you deserve.

      Compensation and personal injury FAQs

      Across the Gold Coast and greater Queensland, personal injury claims are subject to strict time limits. These vary depending on the type of claim, so acting quickly is essential to protect your right to compensation.

      • Car and motor vehicle accidents: Start your claim within 3 years of the accident.
      • Public liability or medical negligence claims: You generally have 3 years from the date of injury.
      • Workers compensation claims: Must be lodged within 6 months of the accident.
      • TPD claims: While most policies don’t set strict deadlines, it’s best to lodge your claim promptly. Delays can make it harder to gather evidence, and super funds are more likely to reject late claims.

      If you’ve missed the deadline, don’t worry, you can apply for an exception. This is a legal reason for the delay in filing your personal injury claim.

      Our lawyers have extensive experience handling delayed claims and can apply for an exception on your behalf. Over the years, we’ve helped countless clients make successful personal injury claims after the deadline.

      If you’ve been injured, you might wonder whether to hire a personal injury lawyer or handle your claim alone. While it’s possible to go solo, an experienced lawyer will significantly improve your chances of getting full compensation — not just for medical bills and lost income, but also for pain, suffering, and future expenses.

      Insurance companies often aim for quick, low settlements, hoping you’ll accept less than you deserve. A skilled lawyer knows all the strategies insurers use and will build a detailed strategy to counter each of them.

      From gathering crucial evidence to negotiating with insurers, your personal injury lawyer handles every step. And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no financial risk. We cover every upfront cost, and you won’t pay a cent unless your claim is successful. Contact us today for a free consultation and see how we can help maximise your compensation.

      Many Gold Coast personal injury lawyers promote ‘No Win No Fee’ services, but the fine print often tells a different story. Some firms take up to 50% of your compensation, and if your claim fails, their guarantee may only cover legal fees — leaving you stuck with extra costs like court fees or expert reports.

      At Monaco, we take a fairer approach. Our fees are capped at 30% of your payout, and in many cases, we recover those costs from the other side. This means you keep more (and sometimes all) of your compensation.

      Before we begin, you’ll receive a clear, upfront breakdown of fees so there are no surprises. And unlike some firms, our No Win No Fee guarantee is exactly that: if we don’t win, you pay nothing.

      If you’re unhappy with your current personal injury lawyer, you don’t have to stick with them. Maybe they’re not keeping you updated, not pushing hard enough for your compensation, or simply don’t feel like the right fit — whatever the reason, you have the right to switch at any time.

      When you move your case to Monaco, we take care of everything. We’ll contact your old lawyer, arrange the transfer of your case files, and make sure the handover is seamless.

      Still weighing it up? Our Gold Coast personal injury lawyers offer free second opinions, so you can be confident you’re making the right call for your future.

      That all depends on the facts of your case, like what type of claim you’re making and how severely you’re injured. Depending on your circumstances, your personal injury compensation may cover:

      • Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity.
      • Past and future superannuation contributions.
      • Medical, rehabilitation, and hospital expenses.
      • Professional care and in-home support.
      • Help provided by family and friends.
      • The loss of your ability to care for dependents.
      • Pain, suffering, and the impact on your daily life.

      Personal injury compensation aims to restore what you’ve lost, but putting a dollar figure on that isn’t always simple. An experienced personal injury lawyer can make sure every part of your loss is included, not just the obvious costs.

      For minor injuries, payouts may be limited to wages and medical bills. But for serious or life-changing injuries, you could be entitled to a much larger lump sum.

      Want a clear idea of what your claim could be worth? Speak with our Gold Coast personal injury lawyers today for a free consultation.

      Every case is different, but most personal injury claims in Gold Coast and across Queensland follow five key steps:

      1. Free consultation: Your first step is a free chat with one of our Gold Coast lawyers. We’ll listen to your story, explain your options, and outline what your claim could involve. If you decide to move forward, that same lawyer will stay with you from start to finish.
      2. Collecting evidence: We gather medical records, employment details, and witness statements to show the full impact of your injury on your life and livelihood.
      3. Expert support: To back your claim, we bring in trusted medical and liability experts. Any specialist opinions, reports, or tests are arranged upfront at no cost to you.
      4. Negotiation (and court, if needed): With evidence in hand, we lodge your claim and negotiate with the insurer. More than 95% of cases settle out of court, but if yours doesn’t, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
      5. Getting paid: Once your claim is resolved, you’ll receive your compensation (either as a lump sum or structured payments), so you can move forward with confidence.

      The time it takes to settle a personal injury claim depends on a few key factors, such as the complexity of your case, the seriousness of your injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Some straightforward claims can be resolved in just a few months, while more complex matters may take 18 months to two years.

      The timeline also hinges on whether a fair settlement can be reached early or if further legal action is needed.

      At Monaco, we focus on achieving the best possible result for you as quickly as the process allows. In your free consultation, our Gold Coast personal injury lawyers will walk you through the steps ahead and give you a clear idea of how long your claim is likely to 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
