- Supermarket

What happens after your free claim check
Once you’ve completed your free claim check, we’ll arrange a call to talk through your accident with you and wether we think you have a claim. If you decide to move forward, we’ll guide you through each step – from gathering the right information to dealing with insurers and progressing your claim.
A call with our team.
It starts with a conversation where we take the time to understand what’s happened and how it’s affected you, then help you understand where you stand and what your options are.
What to prepare
You don’t need to have everything, but if you have details about the incident, medical treatment, insurance or superannuation, it can help us get started. We can guide you on anything else needed.
How fees work
There’s no upfront cost to get advice, and if we take on your claim, it’s on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you don’t pay our legal fees unless your claim is successful.
