Lower fee cap

Many Brisbane negligence lawyers operate on a 50% fee cap—meaning they can take up to half of your compensation claims settlement amount. We think this is unfair. Gouldson Legal charges competitive hourly rates with a 30% fee cap to ensure the bulk of the settlement goes to you.

No win, no fee guarantee

We believe everyone has the right to legal representation, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why every negligence claim we take on is covered by our No win, no fee guarantee. If you don’t win, we don’t charge.

What our clients say

Frequently asked questions

Medical negligence compensation claims incorporate a wide spectrum of injuries and complications.

In short, if you sustained an injury or complications due to subpar medical services, treatment, or advice from a healthcare provider, you may be entitled to claim for compensation.

If you are considering lodging a medical negligence compensation claim, lawyers at Gouldson Legal will assess your circumstances and advise you on the best path forward.

It’s important to be aware that professional negligence claims may involve hospitals, chemists, doctors, midwives, dentists, physiotherapists–and any other healthcare provider. Furthermore, claims may result from a failure to diagnose, incorrect diagnosis, surgical error, or birthing injury–and countless other circumstances.

To fully understand your entitlements, contact our medical negligence compensation lawyers (Brisbane and Queensland-wide) for a free, confidential chat.

Before reaching out to our medical negligence compensation claim lawyers, ensure that you lodge a report of the inadequate treatment or services to the provider.

As always, your health comes first. When possible, arrange to see an alternate medical provider. You will need to obtain medical evidence to show that your injury is a direct consequence of the incident.

At Gouldson Legal, every client is entitled to a free case review. To receive a free case review for your medical negligence compensation, claim lawyers (Brisbane and Queensland) can be contacted by phone or through the online form. One of our lawyers will contact you to discuss the situation and take you through the claims process, step by step.

Lawyers at Gouldson Legal should be contacted as soon as practicable*. In Queensland, strict time limits apply to all personal injury claims, including professional negligence claims.

Regardless of the circumstances of medical negligence, compensation claim lawyers will advise that pre-court proceedings must begin within 9 months of your injury (numerous dates and time frames will generally apply).

Ultimately, you must commence personal injury proceedings in a Court within 3 years from the date of your injury, or your right to any medical negligence compensation claims may be lost.

We understand that injuries or complications due to medical negligence can severely impact your wellbeing, your family, and your ability to earn an income.

Once your injuries have stabilised, our medical negligence compensation lawyers will calculate your entitlements based on updated information and medical evidence. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible to seek compensation for:

  • Past and future treatment and rehabilitation costs.
    This may include physiotherapy, pharmaceutical costs, and psychological support. Our team can help with organising this to ensure you aren’t out-of-pocket during the claims process.
  • Past and future loss of income and superannuation.
    If you have been unable to work due to injury or complications, or injury or complications will impact your ability to work in the future, this will be included in your professional negligence claim.
  • Impacts on quality of life, including pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment.
    For any medical negligence, compensation lawyers at Gouldson Legal will assess any sustained psychological injuries, mental distress, or physical pain in the claims process.
  • Commercial costs.
    Your medical claim compensation lawyers (Brisbane and Queensland offices) will advise further. Claims may include compensation for lawn mowing, cleaning, and maintenance.
  • Home modifications or specialised equipment
    If you have paid for these out of pocket, this will be included in your medical negligence compensation claim.
