Why fo fees for TPD claims vary?

Fees between law firms can vary tremendously, and like with any other service you get what you pay for. Common factors which justify charging higher rates include:

• Expertise – lawyers who focus on a particular area of law will often cost more than an all-rounder.
• Seniority – in law firm hierarchy you may have partners, associates, junior lawyers and paralegals. All bill different hourly rates.
• Effort – Some lawyers may advise you to settle early for a lesser payout however they may still receive the same fees. In many cases, it is worth pushing harder to get a bigger payout as it may only minimally increase the fees.
