Our Principal Lawyer: Kerry Splatt

The Workers Compensation Lawyers QLD is led by Kerry Splatt, the Principal Lawyer of Splatt Lawyers and one of Queensland’s most experienced personal injury lawyers.

Kerry holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Queensland (BA, LLB – UQ) and has practised personal injury law for more than 40 years.

In 1998, Kerry became a Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law – a rigorous designation that requires advanced training, a formal assessment process, and ongoing professional development. He has held this specialist accreditation continuously for 25 years.

In 2025, the Honourable Chief Justice Bowskill of the Supreme Court of Queensland presented Kerry with the QLS 25-Year Accredited Specialist Award at the Queensland Law Society Specialist Accreditation Breakfast in Brisbane – recognising his extraordinary commitment to the profession and to injured Queenslanders.

When accepting the award, Kerry noted:

“After practising for more than 40 years and having been an Accredited Specialist Personal Injury Lawyer in Queensland for 25 of those 40, I can confidently state that this practice area of compensation law has grown in complexity.

Holding a specialist accreditation for so long has allowed me to achieve the best possible outcomes for my clients while also sharing my knowledge, experience, and expertise with my colleagues.”

Kerry has also served on some of Queensland’s and Australia’s most significant legal bodies, including:

Notably, Kerry Splatt played a central role in introducing capped legal fee legislation in Queensland under Section 347 of the Legal Profession Act – a reform that directly protects injured workers from high legal costs.

About Our Legal Team

The Workers Compensation Lawyers QLD focuses exclusively on workplace injury claims under Queensland law. Our team has in-depth, hands-on experience across the full spectrum of workers’ compensation matters, including:

Our lawyers and solicitors know:

  • How WorkCover Queensland operates
  • How insurers assess and sometimes dispute claims
  • What injured workers must prove to achieve a successful outcome.

That real-world, case-level experience is what separates us from general practice law firms.

Our Commitment to Transparency and Fair Treatment

We believe every injured Queensland worker deserves honest, clear legal advice – regardless of their financial situation.

Our 100% no-win, no-fee, no-risk guarantee is not a marketing phrase. It means the following:

  • There is no cost to get started
  • We cover all medical assessments, reports, and outlays until settlement
  • You pay only after a successful outcome
  • If you lose, you owe us nothing
  • Our legal fees are capped in accordance with Queensland law
  • There are no uplift fees or hidden costs
  • Every legal file at Splatt Lawyers is independently cost-assessed. This means a third party reviews our billing to ensure our fees are fair, reasonable, and accurate.
  • Most Queenslanders have only one personal injury claim in their lifetime – we believe you deserve to know your bill has been independently verified.
  • Under Section 347 of the Legal Profession Act, Queensland law caps what personal injury lawyers can charge.
  • Kerry Splatt was instrumental in introducing this legislation.
  • Our fees are always within the legal cap, and we will explain our fee structure clearly before any work begins.
