What does ‘no win, no fee’ really mean?
No win no fee is a term that has been around for some time and one that stuck. Why? Because people demanded that service. Going to court and hiring a lawyer has a cost, but then again you really need a great lawyer, one with expertise, and who has worked hard to put themselves through years of law school and knows the law inside and out.
What’s the point with hiring a cheap and inexperienced lawyer? You would want the best doctor when you are unwell, so you want to settle for best. That is very much something we can help you with.
A motor vehicle accident gone wrong
Imagine the (all to sadly typical) scenario, a large insurance firm who has not paid out for your recent car accident in Brisbane’s M1. Your car had a fault in in its air bag deployment, and they are somehow blaming you on a service logbook technicality.
Whiplash car claim with a possible brain injury
Meanwhile you could have a whiplash injury, a broken arm and possible traumatic brain injury. The insurance company want to offer you next to nothing and you’ve got medical bills to pay, plus you’ll need lots of time off work which may be unpaid. Not a great situation to find yourself in, but there is help just a phone call away.
A whiplash injury can be especially serious so don’t put off getting a claim started. Whiplash is a spinal condition affecting the neck. When the spine’s cervical shape is strained beyond its usual range of movement, any damage can be referred to as whiplash. It is commonly sustained in car accidents but can happen in any situation where the head is suddenly forced backwards and then sent forwards. This movement puts the neck under a huge amount of stress, and can lead to serious chronic discomfort, long-term loss of mobility or worse.

A no win no fee guarantee explained
All our injury compensation services have a ‘no win no fee guarantee’, but what does that really mean? Basically, it means if we do not win your compensation claim, then you simply do not pay our professional fees.
Our ‘no win no fee guarantee’ can provide you with easy access to legal representation right away, so you won’t have to pay any fees upfront. We can take on your case, and while you recuperate, we fight for you, and we pay for all outlays, medical bills and associated claim expenses.
What about the fees and the end of the claim?
Our fees are very fair, competitive, and are all shown transparently to you upfront before we start your claim. Legislation in Queensland also ensures that at the end of your case, if our fees were to somehow exceed the compensation you won and the case were to drag on for some time, then we are bound to reduce them so that you will still receive 50% from your injury compensation claim.
This is called the ’50/50 rule’ and it’s there to reassure you, and be fair, that if you win your claim, your win always exceeds your fees.
Your injuries may mean you can also make a TPD claim
TPD is short for “total and permanent disability”, it’s also often referred to as a ‘super claim’ for many Australians. You can make a TPD claim on your super if you have suffered an injury or illness which prevents you from returning to work or doing those duties you once undertook.
Many people are unaware of TPD with an injury claim and you may still have a valid TPD compensation claim, even if you stopped working many years ago. Our TPD claim specialists will assess whether you can receive a TPD payout, and start the claim process for you.
Specialised TPD claim lawyers navigate insurance firms for you
TPD Insurers are known for often declining claims. At TPIL Lawyers, we ensure your claim is rock solid and professionally researched . We have the knowledge and expertise to ensure your super claim will have the best possible chance of success. If you were under 65 years of age at the time of becoming injured or having an illness and have super, you have a decent chance of making a TPD compensation claim.
In most cases, there is a six year time limit to file TPD claims and this period begins when a fund or insurer rejects your claim for the first time. This is not always the case, so it is really important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.
