Australia Personal Injury Solicitor Fees Question?

My boyfriend got badly injured at work. As there were OH&S issues involved we are looking for a lawyer. We are however really confused about the fees. Can anyone tell me what does 1.4 of the Supreme Court Scale mean and whether that is reasonable charge?

Answers:
What state are you in? As you haven't stated, I don't know which Supreme Court scale you are talking about. Have a look for yourself on www.austlii.edu.au to find the appropriate scale.

Generally, if a solicitor is willing to charge you only what the scale states, that is very reasonable. Usually, most solicitors will charge a great deal more than scale.


The ACT scale is here:
