At Frampton Legal, we have more than 25 years’ experience in representing:

• injured persons;
• insurance companies who pay out claims;
• uninsured parties where there is no insurance.

Every one of our clients deserve and receives prompt, decisive and cost effective advice. The lawyer you see, speak to and entrust your claim to is the one who handles every aspect of your claim at Frampton Legal.

Claims are not only about compensation at the end of your claim, but also about ensuring that appropriate rehabilitation, treatment and medical opinion is received, all of which can be achieved under the relevant law that regulates the specific type of claim.

Motor Vehicle Injury claims

Claims in Queensland must comply with the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (‘MAIA’).

A claim is commenced by completing and sending a specific notice of claim form to the correct insurer. We assist you in the completion and delivery of that form.

The CTP Insurer is nominated on the at fault vehicle’s registration. An unregistered vehicle may still be covered by insurance with the Nominal Defendant (Qld).

The claim form should (and in the case of the Nominal Defendant must) be delivered within 9 months after the accident. After that date your rights could be completely lost.

Once the claim form is delivered we give priority to your rehabilitation needs and treatment.

Once your treatment is complete, medical experts will assess and report on your injuries. To assist in this process you should keep your treating doctor and us informed of all of your injuries and symptoms.

Using the experts’ reports and with your input we advise you on damages and then negotiate a settlement with the insurer for you and with you. If settlement is not possible, court litigation is available to you and we act for you in that process.

Public Place Injury

Claims in Queensland must comply with the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (‘PIPA’).

A claim is commenced by completing and sending a specific notice of claim form to the correct respondent (ie who is responsible or at fault). We assist you in the completion and delivery of that form.

The claim form should be delivered within 9 months after the accident. After that date your rights could be completely lost.

Once the claim form is delivered we give priority to rehabilitation needs and treatment.

The respondent for any claim is often insured in which case the insurer will respond and conduct the claim. On occasions they are not.

Uninsured respondents who receive these notices should respond promptly. Delay can see rights prejudiced and exposure to the claim increased as well as valuable evidence lost.

Once treatment is complete, medical experts will assess and report on injuries.

Using the experts’ reports and with your input we advise you on damages and then negotiate a settlement of the claim. If settlement is not possible, court litigation is available and we act for you in that process.

WorkPlace Accidents

Claims in Queensland must comply with the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (‘WCRA’).

A claim is commenced by completing and sending a notice of claim form to WorkCover. We assist you in the completion and delivery of that form.

The claim form should be delivered within 6 months from the accident. After that date your rights could be completely lost or the amount of compensation significantly reduced.

Once the claim form is delivered we can give priority to rehabilitation needs and treatment.

Once treatment is complete, medical experts will assess and report on your injuries. To assist in this process you should keep your treating doctor and us informed of all of your injuries and symptoms.

Using the experts’ reports and with your input we advise you on damages and then negotiate a settlement of your claim. If settlement is not possible, court litigation is available to you and we act for you in that process.
