Claims the firm handles

The website has pages on motor vehicle claims under Queensland’s compulsory third party (CTP) insurance scheme. It also has pages on workers’ compensation, covering both statutory WorkCover claims and common law claims against a negligent employer. According to a general personal injury page, the firm handles compensation claims arising in Queensland from injuries sustained not more than three years ago. The site also lists drink driving matters, which are not injury work. Meanwhile, the firm states that it does not act for insurance companies.

Fees and costs

On fees, the website offers a free, no-obligation initial consultation, held either at the office or at the client’s home. It also states that the firm will not charge for that consultation if the matter does not proceed. However, the website does not describe its costs agreement. In addition, it publishes no ‘no win no fee’, fee cap, uplift or disbursement terms.

Team and rankings

The website names Paul Carter as the firm’s principal. It states he has represented injured plaintiffs for over 30 years. It also describes him as a former principal of Paul Carter & Associates, Brisbane. The team page also names solicitors Shane Finch, Fabian Tauchmann and Alan Moore.

The Queensland Law Society register lists seven solicitors at the firm, most with personal injuries law as an area of practice.
