How it works

Three steps, no upfront cost

Free claim check

Call us or fill in the form. A lawyer listens to what happened and tells you honestly whether you have a claim.

We build your claim

We gather medical evidence, deal with the insurer and handle the paperwork and deadlines for you.

You get your outcome

We negotiate for the full amount you're entitled to. If the claim doesn't succeed, you don't pay our fees.

Why United Legal

Small. Different. Better.

We're deliberately not a big-volume claims factory. High-turnover firms often need to settle cases quickly to cover their overheads, and insurers know it. We take on fewer cases and prepare each one to get its full value.

  • The same lawyers from start to finish, not a call centre
  • Straight answers on your options, timeframes and costs
  • We know the ACT schemes, insurers, doctors and courts

FAQs

Common questions about injury claims

How much does it cost to make a personal injury claim with United Legal?
Most personal injury claims are run on a no win, no fee basis. If your claim is not successful, you do not pay our professional fees. We explain the agreement in writing before we start.
How do I know if I have a valid claim?
Book a free claim check. A lawyer will ask how the injury happened, who may be responsible and how it has affected your work and life, then tell you whether you have a claim and what the next steps are.
Is there a time limit to make a claim?
Yes. Strict time limits apply, and they differ between claim types and between the ACT and NSW. Some notices must be given within weeks of an accident, so it is best to get advice as early as possible.
How long will my claim take?
Many claims resolve within 12 to 24 months, but it depends on the claim type, how long your injury takes to stabilise and whether the insurer disputes liability. We give you a realistic estimate at the start and keep you updated.
Can I change lawyers part-way through my claim?
Yes. You can change lawyers at any stage. We handle the file transfer with your previous lawyer so you do not have to.
