Are you wondering if you or someone you know might have a valid compensation claim for a personal injury suffered in Queensland? If you or someone you know has suffered a personal injury while going about your day to day life then you may be entitled to compensation.

It is unfortunate that serious injuries do occur and often the effects are far reaching.
