Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about road injury claims.
In Queensland, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to make a CTP (Compulsory Third Party) claim for personal injury. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, and it’s always best to start your claim as soon as possible. Early action ensures evidence is fresh, witnesses are available, and you don’t miss important deadlines. Contact us immediately after your accident for the best outcome.
You may be entitled to claim compensation for medical expenses (past and future), loss of income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, rehabilitation costs, home and vehicle modifications, and care and assistance needs. The exact amount depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and other specific circumstances. Our lawyers will assess your case to determine the maximum compensation you’re entitled to receive.
You may still be able to claim compensation even if you were partially at fault. Queensland uses a “contributory negligence” system, which means your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. Our experienced lawyers will work to minimize any finding of contributory negligence and maximize your compensation outcome.
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Simple claims with minor injuries and clear liability may settle in 6-12 months, while complex cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take 18-36 months or longer. We work efficiently to move your claim forward as quickly as possible while ensuring we secure the maximum compensation you deserve. We’ll keep you informed at every stage of the process.
Don't let insurance companies minimize your claim. Our experienced road injury lawyers will fight to get you every dollar you're entitled to under the law.
