Claims our QLD personal injury lawyers can assist with

For more than 25 years, we’ve been helping Queenslanders secure the compensation they’re entitled to.

Here are some of the most common claims we handle. Depending on your case, you might be eligible for more than one.

Compensation and personal injury FAQs

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.

Car and motor vehicle accident claims

In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of the crash to file your claim.

Public liability and medical negligence claims

These claims must also be started within three years from the date the injury occurred.

Workers compensation claims

You have six months from the date of your workplace injury to lodge a claim.

TPD claims

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.

Yes, you can absolutely change personal injury lawyers if you’re not satisfied with your current representation. Whether they’re unresponsive, not fighting hard enough for your claim, or simply not the right fit, you have the right to switch.

If you choose to move your case to Monaco, we’ll take care of the entire process — from notifying your previous lawyer to transferring your case files — so the transition is smooth and hassle-free.

Not sure if switching is the best move? Our Queensland personal injury lawyers offer free second opinions to help you make an informed decision. Get in touch today.

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:

  • Lost income & super: covers wages you’ve missed and any future earnings you may lose.
  • Medical costs: covers hospital bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
  • Professional care: if you need home assistance or nursing support.
  • Family and friend support: care provided by loved ones.
  • Loss of dependent care: if your injury affects your ability to support dependents.
  • Pain and suffering: compensation for how your injury impacts your daily life.

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.

Curious about your claim’s value? Contact a Queensland personal injury lawyer today for a free consultation.

Every case is different, but most personal injury claims in QLD follow this process:

1. Free consultation

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.

2. Gathering vital evidence

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.

3. Expert reports to strengthen your case

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.

4. Negotiations and settlement discussions

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.

5. Receiving your compensation

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.

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.
