Keep 100% of your compensation*
In Queensland, a lawyer acting on a 'no win no fee' basis can charge up to 50% of your compensation*. By claiming directly through Suncorp Insurance, 100% of your compensation* is paid to you.
*Your ‘compensation’ means your damages plus that part of your legal costs payable by the Insurer less the total of the applicable statutory refunds (e.g. to Medicare) and disbursements (e.g. fees for medical reports). If you deal directly with the insurer, you are not likely to have legal costs that may or may not be reimbursed by the insurer.
