Our Commitment
At Cairns Compensation Lawyers, nearly all of our claims are taken on a no-win no-fee basis.
Unlike some other compensation law firms, we are driven to achieve the best outcomes for our clients. More specifically, we aim to achieve:
- The biggest settlement;
- In the fastest time;
- At the lowest cost;
- Without the need to go to Court – saving you thousands in unnecessary legal fees.
Depending upon the nature of your claim, we can generally guarantee that you will deal with one Lawyer (often a Senior personal injury Lawyer or Partner who is a part owner of our firm) and one paralegal to act for you for the life of your claim, meaning that you will deal with the same team throughout your claim. This means you avoid paying duplicated costs for multiple Lawyers or paralegals picking up and putting down your file and avoiding delays associated with handovers internally between Lawyers.
We are a proudly local Cairns firm and are owned and run by Cairns locals.
We are not a national law firm owned by a faceless corporation.
