No Win No Fee Lawyers for Brisbane and Queensland

‘No win, no fee’ is offered by the majority of accident compensation lawyers to allow access to justice without the need for big upfront costs or risks. Under a ‘no win, no fee’ arrangement, the firm's legal fees are only payable if the case is successful.

Taking on the big well resourced insurance companies on your own would be a David Vs. Goliath type undertaking. No win, no fee arrangements make it possible to seek compensation and remove the upfront costs and risk.

Benefits of no win, no fee

There are a number of key benefits to no win, no fee arrangements.

What does no win, no fee mean?

No win no fee refers to a costs agreement associated with legal fees for services. Under a no win no fee arrangement, you do not pay for legal services unless the case is ‘won’ - which means that the outcome you are seeking (getting compensation) is the one that you get. 

With no win no fee arrangements, you can access all the necessary legal services you may need to help you fight your matter, without making any payment upfront. This can be hugely helpful when you are making a claim for compensation, as you do not need to fund your legal battle yourself. 

For example, if you are seeking compensation for a workplace injury, you will probably need to get specialist medical reports and other expert evidence to substantiate any claim that you make. Under a no win no fee terms arrangement, your legal team will cover all of the costs of any tests, reports, or other necessary material upfront, which means you are not out of pocket. Your no win no fee arrangement also means that any legal representation, such as a barrister, is covered as part of your service as well. 

It is worth noting here that most compensation claims are settled out of court, in what is known as a compulsory conference. In a compulsory conference, your legal representatives will put forward your position and negotiate on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome for your circumstances. We fight hard for the best result for each of our clients and it sometimes needs more than one compulsory conference to negotiate an offer from the insurers that provides a suitable in-hand outcome for our clients. If this is the case, and your matter proceeds to litigation, you can be assured we will inform you of how the matter will proceed, and advise of any associated costs.

Ultimately, it is only if your claim is successful that you pay — so if we don’t achieve a successful claim for compensation, we don’t get paid.

When you work with Murphy’s Law you can be assured that: 

When you work with us as your no win no fee lawyers, you are assured of getting the best possible legal help, without the initial financial outlay and the risk.

Switching Lawyers to Murphy's Law

How to Switch Compensation Law Firms?

  1. Give us a call on 1800 941 147 or use the messenger on the site (bottom right) to get in touch. We will then provide you with a free review of your situation.
  2. We will then request a transfer of your file from your current law firm and review all the materials provided. We take care of the communication with the firm you wish to leave.
  3. We will then ask yourself for details that were not covered in the files as well as looking for gaps and opportunities to build your case further.

Common questions

Will I need to pay fees to the other firm?

The fees can be transferred on a no win, no fee basis. That means you won’t have anything to pay at the point of moving firms. Your current firm passes on the file and their costs to date to us and they will be paid along with our fees if your case is successful. If your case is early on then the fees to the other firm may not be much.

Will I need to start the whole process again? 

No, we will get the file moved across from your current firm. We do need to review the work to date to bring ourselves up to speed and look for gaps and opportunities to build your case.

Will it slow things down even more?

Not generally. We do need to review the work done by your current lawyer of course but if things have been going slowly with your current firm then we can soon make up speed.

Can I switch?

The ability to switch will depend on a number of things such as the stage of your claim. If for example you are at the very end of the process then it might not be in your best interests to move. We will find out more information and will only advise a switch if we think it would be to your benefit.
