When it comes to legal fees we are transparent and encourage you to ask questions or seek updates at any time and as often as you wish.
If your claim is successful, the other party will pay some of the fees you owe to MKF Lawyers provided your compensation amount is more than $25,000 for a motor vehicle accident claim or $12,000 for other compensation claims. If the compensation amount is less than this amount or if you are making a TPD, Income Protection or Superannuation claim, then all legal fees are paid from the compensation funds.
There will be a gap between the amount contributed towards MKF Lawyers fees by the other party and the fees charged to you. The gap in fees is paid from the compensation amount but will not exceed the total sum of compensation.
MKF Lawyers have a policy of reducing their fees to no more than half of the compensation amount so that you will always receive some compensation, even where the case turns out far worse than anticipated. The exception to this policy is when a client has been untruthful and this has caused the low compensation payment.
