Skip the hurdles
WE’RE IN
YOUR CORNER
Claimaroo thinks everyone should
be allowed to fight for their rights.
Retired, low income or even on Centrelink benefits. If you’ve suffered an incident and need legal help, whatever your circumstances, we can help. Reclaiming legal costs can be an expensive process, but our simple fee structure will make sure you’re fairly represented and never left out of pocket.
No win, no fee explained
No win, no fee means just that. You won’t pay a dollar until we win your settlement with the ‘at fault’ party or their insurer. Once we’ve had chance to review your case, we’ll be open and honest about what you can expect. If we think it’s worth making a claim, we’ll give you a rough idea of how much money you might get. It’s then up to you to decide if you want our experienced lawyers to represent you.
Our commitment to you
If you choose to accept our help, we’ll draw up a legal contract called a Conditional Cost Agreement. This will give you an estimate of our costs and the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Costs we may need to cover include our time and expenses, such as medical reports, expert witness fees and barrister fees. These are all included in our ‘no win, no fee’ agreement. You will only pay us if you win. If you don’t win, we guarantee you won’t be in a worse financial position.
Know exactly where you stand
We set a fixed fee of $5000 + GST right at the start. Which is deducted from any settlement figure you receive. It won’t change over the course of the claim or increase without warning and we’ll make sure you’re aware of how many hours we’ve spent as your claim progresses.
No nasty surprises
In Queensland, some law firms charge an ‘uplift fee’ which compensates them for the financial risk of working on a no win, no fee basis. Even though we’re entitled to do the same, we’re confident in our ability to get the best settlement for our clients. So, you’ll never have to worry about any additional charges.
Never get less than 50/50
There’s a ripper rule in Queensland that protects you from paying out more cash than you receive. It’s called 50/50 and it basically means that the amount of settlement money that’s left once both parties have deducted their costs, such as lawyers’ fees, must be equal or more in favour of you, the client. So, you can relax knowing you’ll never receive less than 50% of the total settlement amount.
99.9% of claims don’t go to court!
The other great news is that instituting court proceedings is a last resort and 99.9% of cases will be settled from the comfort of your own home. We will, of course, support you if you’d like to pursue court action, but in most cases this isn’t necessary.
