Back in 1999, Leon Monaco set out with a simple mission: to make expert legal representation accessible to all Australians.

When you work with our compensation lawyers in QLD, you can expect:
In Queensland, strict time limits apply to personal injury claims, and missing a deadline could mean losing your right to compensation. The timeframe varies based on the type of claim, so it’s important to act quickly.
In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of the crash to file your claim.
These claims must also be started within three years from the date the injury occurred.
You have six months from the date of your workplace injury to lodge a claim.
While TPD claims often don’t have a strict deadline, superannuation funds may have their own rules. Filing as soon as possible is recommended, as delays can make it harder to gather evidence and could reduce your chances of approval.
Not sure about your deadline? Our Queensland personal injury lawyers can review your case and help ensure you take action in time to secure the compensation you deserve.
If you’ve been injured, you might be wondering whether to handle your claim alone or hire a personal injury lawyer. While you can go through the process yourself, having expert legal representation can make a huge difference in securing the maximum compensation. Your claim isn’t just about covering immediate medical expenses — it may also include lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care, and future financial impacts.
Insurance companies often push for quick, lowball settlements, hoping you’ll accept less than you deserve. Without a legal expert on your side, you could end up with a much lower payout than you need.
When you work with a personal injury lawyer in Queensland, they take care of everything, including collecting evidence, filing your claim and negotiating with insurers.
And with our No Win No Fee guarantee, there’s no risk to you. Get in touch with our Queensland compensation lawyers today for a free consultation and find out how we can help.
In Queensland, many law firms advertise ‘No Win No Fee’ services, but the fine print often tells a different story.
Some firms cover upfront legal expenses but take up to 50% of your payout, while others have hidden costs that leave you paying for court fees, expert reports, or other expenses — even if you don’t win.
At Monaco, we do things differently. Our No Win No Fee guarantee is exactly that — if we don’t win your case, you don’t pay a cent. No hidden charges, no unexpected fees.
We also cap our fees at 30%, so you keep more of your compensation. In many cases, we recover legal costs from the other side, meaning you could receive your entire payout.
Before we begin, we provide a clear, upfront cost breakdown so you’ll always know what to expect.

In Queensland, personal injury claim payouts are based on factors like the severity of your injury, your earnings before the accident, and whether you can return to work.
Depending on your situation, your compensation may include:
Since compensation is meant to restore what you’ve lost, it’s essential to claim everything you’re entitled to. That’s where having the right lawyer makes a difference — someone who understands your situation, the impact of your injury, and knows how to maximise your payout.
For minor injuries, compensation may only cover medical costs and lost wages. For severe or permanent injuries, you could be entitled to a substantial lump sum payout.

Every case is different, but most personal injury claims in QLD follow this process:
Your journey starts with a free case review. Our personal injury lawyers will listen to your situation, ask the key questions, and provide clear guidance on your best legal options. The lawyer you speak with will likely manage your case from start to finish.
To build a strong case, we gather crucial documents like medical records, employment details, and witness statements. This evidence is essential for proving the extent of your injuries and how they impact your life.
We work with leading medical specialists and liability experts to provide professional assessments that support your claim. If further reports are needed, we’ll arrange everything — covering all upfront costs so you don’t have to worry about out-of-pocket expenses.
Once all evidence is compiled, we begin negotiations. The vast majority of personal injury claims — over 95% — are resolved through settlements without needing to go to court. Your lawyer will handle all discussions with insurers, fighting for the best possible compensation.
If an agreement isn’t reached, we’ll guide you through your next legal steps and prepare for litigation if necessary.
Once your claim is successfully resolved, you’ll receive your compensation — either as a lump sum or ongoing payments. With our expertise and proven track record, you can trust that we’ll work tirelessly to secure the maximum payout you’re entitled to.
The time it takes to resolve a personal injury claim varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the other party disputes liability. Some claims can be settled in a few months, while more complicated cases — especially those involving serious injuries or legal disputes — may take longer.
The process typically involves several stages, including gathering evidence, filing necessary documents, negotiating with insurers, and, if needed, pursuing legal action. If a fair settlement can’t be reached early on, taking the case to court may extend the timeline further.
At Monaco, we work efficiently to secure the best possible outcome as quickly as possible. During your free consultation, our Queensland personal injury lawyers will evaluate your case and provide an estimated timeframe for your claim.
