- Contact us to discuss
Task based Fee Structure instead of an hourly rate
- Many injury law firms charge an hourly rate which means the longer the task takes the more you pay
- At Redlands Injury Law, our fees are charged on a "task based" scale. This approach means that you pay for the actual tasks performed and not the number of hours someone spends on it.
- Additionally, having lower overheads means we offer much more competitive fees than other comparative law firms
Fee Cap Protection
- By Law, we can only charge for the work we perform in accordance with our Cost Agreement. If, however, the total fees exceed a stipulated threshold ('fee cap') then our fees must be reduced to that fee cap.
- Section 347 of the Legal Profession Act (Qld) requires law firms who practice in personal injuries claims and who offer "no-win, no fee", must restrict their maximum fee to 50% of the 'Net Settlement Amount' meaning the client will receive the balance. This is commonly referred to as the 50% fee cap. Many law firms charge the 50% fee cap.
- We do NOT charge a 50% fee cap but rather charge a lower fee cap meaning our clients receive more in their hand.
- Typically, our fee caps range from 30% to 40% depending on the complexity of the matter. The amount of our fee cap to be applied to your matter will be detailed in our Costs Agreement.
