What Happened to You?
We handle four types of personal injury compensation claims — exclusively. Tell us what happened and we'll tell you where you stand.
Road Accidents
Claims arising from road accidents involving cars, motorcycles, scooters, pedestrians, cyclists, or hit-and-run incidents.
Work Accidents
Injuries that occur at work, including construction accidents, lifting injuries, machinery incidents, and other workplace hazards.
Public Place Accidents
Injuries caused by unsafe public or private spaces, including slips, trips and falls in shopping centres, footpaths, public areas, or rental properties.
TPD Claims
Can't return to work due to illness or injury? Your superannuation may include TPD cover. We handle these claims Australia-wide.
You may be able to claim even if…
- You were partially at fault
- You are not sure who is responsible
- You were casual, part-time, or self-employed
- Your injury developed gradually over time

What Having Us on Your Side Actually Means
When you're dealing with the aftermath of an accident, you deserve a team that treats your claim like it matters — because it does.
You pay nothing unless we win
No charge upfront and no hidden fees. We never increase our fee based on what you receive — if we don't win, you don't pay.
Your claim gets our full attention
We only practise personal injury law — so your matter is never competing with other areas, or deprioritised when things get busy.
Talk to us in your language
We work in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese — so nothing gets lost, and you always know exactly where your claim stands.
You'll always know what's happening
Your claim follows a clear, structured process with defined checkpoints — so nothing falls through the cracks and you're never left guessing.
Senior oversight at every key decision
A partner reviews your matter at each critical stage — so you get the benefit of real experience, not just whoever is available.
We work around your recovery
After hours, weekends, or online — we fit around your schedule, because getting legal advice shouldn't mean taking time off work.
- Time limits apply.
Queensland law sets strict deadlines for personal injury claims — the sooner you seek advice, the more options you have.

From People Who've Been Through It
Short films from real clients — their situations, concerns, and what happened when they called us.
Road Accidents
“At the time, I didn’t know where to go and what to do.”
In the aftermath of my car accident, I felt completely unsure of what came next. Ascent gave me a clear path forward and the confidence to deal with the claim properly.
Road Accidents
“I couldn't even fall asleep, not even a blink.”
The accident left me distressed and exhausted, and I struggled to cope with everything that followed. Having Ascent handle the insurance and claim gave me a sense of relief when I needed it most.
