If the insurer’s offer does not reflect the real impact of your injury, get advice before you settle.
Our biggest strength with brain injury claims is knowing how to prove the long-term losses insurers often overlook.
Because our team has worked for some of the largest insurers in Australia, we know:
We use that insight to check whether the insurer has properly considered your medical evidence, lost income, future work capacity, treatment needs, care requirements and long-term impact.
Over 15 years, we have built relationships with medical experts, rehabilitation providers and specialists who can help clarify the evidence your claim may need.
That can help identify missing reports, arrange the right assessments, and build a clearer picture of what your injury may cost you now and in the future.
If you’ve received an offer that does not reflect what your injury has cost you, we’ll give you a clear, honest view of whether your claim is strong, what losses may need to be included, and what compensation may realistically be available.
Book your free initial case review now or give us a call on (02) 8117 8139, and you’ll receive a clear answer on your next steps within 24 hours.
You should not have to take on financial risk just to find out whether your brain injury claim has been undervalued.
For eligible brain injury claims, Scarton Law can act on a no-win, no-fee basis.
This means you do not pay professional legal fees upfront, and we only get paid for our time if your claim is successful.
If we don’t, you don’t pay for our time.
That’s our responsibility, not yours.
We also understand that strong brain injury claims often need more than basic paperwork.
Medical reports, specialist assessments, rehabilitation evidence and court filing fees can all be needed to properly show the impact of your injury.
In most cases, we cover these upfront costs so your claim can keep moving without you paying out of pocket at every step.
Before you decide whether to proceed, we explain our fees clearly, including what we cover upfront, what may be deducted from your settlement, and when any costs may become payable.
If you want to know whether your brain injury claim may qualify for no-win, no-fee support, start with a free initial case review.
We will explain where you stand and what the next step could look like.
Scarton Law provides direct access to experienced lawyers, fast response times, and clear action from day one. We take ownership of each matter, act early to reduce delay, and focus on resolving issues quickly while keeping legal costs under control.
The Right Preparation Made Court Unnecessary
One of our Brisbane clients suffered serious physical and psychological injuries after being rear-ended by a truck at high speed. The claim involved complex issues, including traumatic brain injury and significant future loss of earning capacity.
At an early stage, there was limited financial and employment information available, making it difficult to properly value the claim.
We took a proactive approach from the outset to position the case properly. This included engaging a forensic accountant to assess past and future income loss, along with obtaining detailed medical and expert evidence to support the client’s injuries.
This required a significant upfront investment by our firm, but it ensured the claim was clear, well-supported, and difficult for the insurer to dispute.
As a result, we were able to resolve the matter early at an informal settlement conference, without the need to commence court proceedings.
The claim settled for $1.5 million, allowing our client to access compensation sooner and avoid the stress, delay, and cost of prolonged litigation.
Brain injury claims are only as strong as the evidence behind them.
Our job is to make sure the insurer sees the full picture, not just the first medical report or the most obvious symptoms.
We look at how the injury has affected your work, income, treatment, care needs and future independence, then build the evidence around those losses.
We start by looking at the accident, who may be responsible, what has already been reported, and what evidence is available. This may include police reports, accident details, insurer correspondence, medical records, witness information, photographs, workplace documents or incident reports.
Brain injury claims often need more than standard medical records. We look for gaps in the evidence and identify what may be needed to properly support your claim, including specialist reports, rehabilitation evidence, work capacity assessments, income records and information about your day-to-day limitations.
Over 15 years, we have built relationships with medical experts, rehabilitation providers and specialists who understand serious injury claims. Where needed, we can help arrange assessments and reports that explain the impact of your brain injury more clearly, including symptoms that may not be obvious in early records.
A brain injury can affect more than your immediate medical costs. We assess the impact on your lost income, future earning capacity, treatment needs, care requirements, domestic support, travel, independence and long-term quality of life.
You should not have to argue with the insurer while you are trying to recover. We handle insurer communication, respond to requests, address disputes and make sure your claim is not pushed toward settlement before the full impact has been properly considered.
Before you accept any offer, we help you understand what it includes, what may be missing, and whether it reflects the evidence available. The goal is simple: to help you make a clear, informed decision before your claim is finalised.
If you’re interested in getting a clearer view of your brain injury claim, we work with clients across Brisbane and QLD.
Wherever you’re based, you can access the support you need without unnecessary delays.
You can speak with us remotely by phone or video, or meet with us in person at our Brisbane office if that’s your preference.

You may have a brain injury compensation claim if your injury was caused by an accident, negligence, an unsafe environment, or another person’s actions.

You may also have a claim if your brain injury has caused:

A brain injury can affect almost every part of your life.
The compensation you may be able to claim depends on the type of accident, the severity of your injury, the evidence available and how the injury has affected your work, treatment, care needs and future.
A brain injury compensation claim may include:
Medical Treatment and Rehabilitation:
This can include hospital treatment, GP appointments, specialist reviews, scans, medication, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, neuropsychology, rehabilitation programs and other treatments needed for your recovery.
Lost Income:
If your brain injury has stopped you from working, reduced your hours, changed your duties or affected your ability to run a business, you may be able to claim for income you have already lost.
Future Loss of Earning Capacity:
Some brain injuries affect memory, concentration, fatigue, mood, decision-making or physical capacity. If those symptoms affect your ability to work in the future, your claim may need to include future earning loss.
Care and Domestic Support:
You may need help with personal care, household tasks, transport, parenting duties, meal preparation, cleaning or other daily activities. This support may form part of your claim, even if it has been provided by family members.
Future Treatment and Care Needs:
Brain injury claims should consider what support you may need after settlement. This can include future medical care, rehabilitation, therapy, equipment, home modifications or ongoing assistance.
Pain, Suffering and Loss of Enjoyment of Life:
If your injury has affected your independence, relationships, hobbies, social life or general quality of life, this may also be relevant to your claim.
The key issue is not just what your injury has already cost you. It is what it may continue to cost you in the future.
That is why we look beyond the first report or insurer assessment.
We help identify the losses that should be considered, gather the evidence needed to support them, and give you a clear view of what your compensation claim may realistically include.
Yes, you may be able to claim compensation for a concussion if it was caused by an accident and has had a real impact on your life.
A concussion can still affect memory, concentration, fatigue, sleep, mood, work capacity and daily activities.
Even if the injury was described as “mild”, it may still support a claim if the symptoms and losses can be properly evidenced.
A normal scan does not always mean your symptoms are not real or that you do not have a claim.
Some brain injury symptoms may not be obvious on early imaging.
What matters is how the injury has affected you, what your doctors say, and whether the evidence supports the impact on your work, treatment, income, care needs and daily life.
