No Win No Fee Lawyers Melbourne

What is No Win, No Fee?

High quality legal advice should be accessible, personal and affordable.

Not all injuries are the same. Neither are ‘No Win, No Fee’ cost agreements.

All personal injury law firms incur costs during the preparation of your claim.

These include the time your lawyer spends preparing your case and the cost of any disbursements (i.e. filing fees; engagement of medical experts or barristers; obtaining reports) required to support your claim.

If your claim is successful, your chosen firm will seek to recover these costs from the compensation settlement sum.

The difference between firms is their approach to uplift fees and/or capping costs. These can have a significant impact on the amount of compensation you receive in support of recovering from your injury.

To ensure you receive value for money we recommend that in choosing your legal representative you ask what disbursements may be required during the preparation of your case, whether the firm charges an uplift fee and how they minimise costs to ensure you receive most of your awarded compensation.

What percentage do most personal injury lawyers take?

In Australia, personal injury lawyers typically charge a success fee percentage ranging from 10% to 45% of the final amount, with the average being around 33%. At Maxiom Injury Lawyers, we adopt a no win no fee arrangement. If we win a case for our client, we charge a portion of the compensation, with our success fees typically ranging between 15-20%.

Can you sue for personal injury in Melbourne?

Yes, you can sue for personal injury in Melbourne. In cases of work and road injuries, you are entitled to benefits without the need to prove negligence. In cases of public liability and medical negligence cases, you must prove negligence.

What happens if I lose a no win no fee case?

At Maxiom Injury Lawyers, we operate on a No Win No Fee basis. This means if you don’t win your case, we waive our legal fees. We strive to keep our legal costs and disbursement fees minimal, cap our costs wherever feasible, and don’t charge an uplift fee. However, as per Australian law, if the case doesn’t result in a win, there might be a need to pay a portion of the other party’s legal costs.
