  • Am I eligible to make a claim?
    If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in Queensland and can demonstrate that another party was at least partially at fault, you may be eligible to make a claim. This includes drivers, passengers, cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists. Even if the at-fault driver is unidentified or the vehicle is unregistered, you might still be able to claim through the Nominal Defendant.
  • What compensation can I claim?
    Compensation can cover various aspects of your loss, including: Medical expenses (past and future) Rehabilitation and therapy costs Loss of income and earning capacity Pain and suffering Care and assistance provided by family or professionals The exact compensation amount depends on your injuries and circumstances.
  • What are the time limits for lodging a motor vehicle accident claim?
    Time limits for lodging a motor vehicle accident claim in Queensland are strict and vary depending on the circumstances: Identified and registered vehicle: Lodge your claim within 9 months of the accident or 1 month after consulting us, whichever comes earlier. Unregistered or unidentified vehicle (e.g., hit-and-run): Lodge your claim within 3 months of the accident or 1 month after consulting us, whichever comes earlier. Court proceedings: You have three years from the date of the accident to commence court proceedings. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation.

  • Will I need to go to court?
    Most motor vehicle accident claims are resolved through negotiation or settlement without needing to go to court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to litigation. We will guide you through every step of the process and advocate for you in court if necessary.
  • Who pays for my medical and legal costs?
    If your claim is successful, the at-fault driver’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer will typically cover your compensation, including medical expenses and rehabilitation costs. Legal costs are usually recovered from the insurer as well. If your case is unsuccessful, you won’t need to pay our legal fees under our “You Pay NOTHING Unless We Win*” policy. *Terms and conditions applied
  • How long will the claims process take?
    The duration of your claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, your recovery time, and the willingness of the insurer to negotiate. On average, most claims are resolved within 12–18 months.
  • Can I still claim if I was partially at fault?
    Yes, you may still be eligible to claim even if you were partly responsible for the accident. However, the amount of compensation you receive could be reduced based on the percentage of fault attributed to you.
  • What happens if the at-fault driver is uninsured or unidentified?
    You can still make a claim through the Nominal Defendant, a government-backed scheme that covers cases involving uninsured or unidentified drivers. Our team will assist you in filing this type of claim.
  • How much will it cost me to make a claim?
    Under our “You Pay NOTHING Unless We Win” policy, you won’t pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful.
