Personal Injury Lawyers.

A personal injury lawyer guides you through every stage of a compensation claim. Our role is to protect your rights, secure the compensation you’re entitled to, and handle critical steps such as:

• Investigating your case – collecting medical reports, witness statements, and expert opinions.
• Handling insurers and paperwork – dealing with claims, correspondence, and negotiations on your behalf.
• Calculating your entitlements – assessing medical costs, lost income, rehabilitation needs, and the impact on your daily life.
• Representing you in disputes – negotiating fair settlements with insurers or, if necessary, taking the matter to court.

At Gain Lawyers, we go further by making the process as easy for you as possible and fighting to secure the maximum compensation you’re owed.

We assist with a wide range of personal injury claims in QLD including:

• Motor vehicle accidents – car, motorbike, truck, and pedestrian claims.
• Workplace injuries – including WorkCover and common law claims.
• Public liability – injuries in public places, shops, rental properties, or private premises.
• Medical negligence – injuries caused by medical error or inadequate treatment.
• Institutional abuse – compensation for survivors of institutional child sexual abuse.
• TPD and insurance claims – when illness or injury prevents you from working.
• DVA claims - compensation for current and former ADF members.

Compensation typically covers both your financial losses and the impact of your injuries on daily life. This may include:

• Medical expenses – past treatment, rehab, equipment and aids.
• Lost income – wages already lost and reduced future earning capacity.
• Rehabilitation costs – therapy, equipment, or support services.
• Pain and suffering – compensation for reduced quality of life.

The exact amount depends on how serious your injuries are and the effect they have on your health, work, and lifestyle.

Most personal injury claims take 6–18 months. Some types of claims (like straightforward WorkCover matters) resolve faster, while complex cases such as medical negligence may take several years.

Timing typically depends on:

• Type of claim – different claim types follow different processes.
• Injury stabilisation – claims can only be finalised once doctors confirm your condition has stbailised.
• Complexity and disputes – liability disputes or complex evidence can lengthen the process.
• Insurer cooperation – some claims resolve quickly, while others require extended negotiation, mediation, or even court proceedings.

We take the uncertainty out of the process by always keeping you informed and progressing your claim as efficiently as possible.

No. We work on a true “No Win, No Fee” basis. That means you only pay if your claim succeeds - nothing upfront.
Our Low Fee Promise guarantees you:

• Lower fees – our total fees are usually 20–40% lower than large firms.
• No hidden extras – we never add “uplift” fees or vague charges like “care and consideration” costs.
• No costly loans – we cover medical reports, expert evidence, and court costs upfront.
• All fees written off if you lose – including disbursements (“out of pocket” expenses such as medical evidence).

This means more of your compensation stays where it belongs, in your pocket.

It is rare for personal injury claims to go to court. Most claims are resolved through negotiation or mediation, without the need to ever be in a courtroom for a trial.
This keeps the process faster, less stressful for claimants, and more cost-effective for the legal system as a whole.

Yes, you can still claim compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident. This is known as contributory negligence.

Your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your share of fault, but it won’t prevent you from making a claim. We’ll assess your situation and fight to ensure you receive the maximum amount you’re entitled to.

Yes. Personal injury law in Queensland recognises both physical and psychological harm. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can form a significant part of your claim or even constitute the whole claim in some cases, such as abuse.

These injuries are assessed alongside physical ones, with compensation reflecting the impact they have on your health, work, and quality of life.

There’s no fixed amount for most claim types. The value of a personal injury claim depends on factors such as the severity of your injury, how it affects your ability to work, the cost of treatment and rehabilitation, and the overall impact on your daily life. Medical evidence, expert assessments, and financial records are considered during negotiations with the insurer, and in many cases through mediation, to reach a fair compensation outcome.

We offer free, no-obligation consultations to assess your circumstances and give you a clear understanding of what your claim may be worth.

Most personal injury claims must commence court proceedings within 3 years of the accident or injury. Some claims have much shorter time limits - for example, motor vehicle accident and workers’ compensation claims often require forms or applications to be lodged within months. In contrast, institutional abuse claims currently have no time limit.

Because the rules vary depending on the type of claim and where it’s made, the safest approach is to get legal advice early. Missing a deadline may mean losing your right to compensation.

You don’t need to have all the evidence before contacting us. It’s best to reach out as early as possible so we can make sure no important details are missed and the right steps are taken from the beginning. We will help gather and organise the necessary material, which may include medical records, photos, incident reports, and witness details.
