Steps to making<br />
a compensation claim<br />
Step one – assessment and recommendation<br />
By the time you are reading this booklet, you may already have called<br />
our Legal Help Line on 1800 555 777.<br />
Our client services consultants give information to help decide on the<br />
best course of action for you and will obtain necessary background<br />
information from you, for review by one of our lawyers.<br />
If we agree to act for you, this will often be on a conditional (what is<br />
sometimes called a ‘No Win – No Fee’) basis. However not all claims<br />
can be investigated or pursued on that basis.<br />
A retainer agreement will confirm our preparedness to represent you.<br />
It provides an outline of potential costs and how they will be calculated.<br />
Work commences when you sign and return the retainer agreement.<br />
