Our award-winning road injury lawyers will ensure you get the compensation you deserve

Our legal experts are some of the best in the country, and our reputation for excellence is second to none. We have decades of experience in Queensland road injury law and a strong success rate of achieving the best possible outcome for our clients.

We understand the complexities of the road accident schemes in Queensland because we’ve taken it on - successfully - countless times before.

We can help give you the best chance of making a successful claim. Often, the insurance company you're dealing with won’t tell you about all the benefits you’re entitled to. Our track record of achieving higher settlement amounts for our clients than those who bring a claim on their own (without legal advice) is because we know the process inside out and work hard to get you the maximum compensation.

Frequently asked questions about road accident compensation in Queensland

If you've been in an accident on the road, no matter how minor you think the injuries may be, the most important thing to do first is seek medical attention.

Then you should report the accident while the details are still fresh. The process for reporting a road accident generally involves: 

  • making a report to the police (if you haven’t done this yet, we can do it for you)
  • filling out and submitting a claim form (we can submit this on your behalf)
  • getting a medical certificate to include with your claim.

Time limits can apply, so it's best to seek legal advice as soon as possible after your road accident. 

Being in a road accident as a driver, rider, passenger or pedestrian is a traumatic experience for everyone involved. If you've been injured on the road, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation. We can help guide you through this process for:

  • Car accident injuries
  • Motorcycle and scooter accidents
  • Bike accidents
  • Quad bike accidents
  • Dependency claims (if you or your children were dependent on the person who died in an accident)
  • Nervous shock claims (if you have suffered a psychological injury as a result of the death of your loved one)

If you have been injured on the road (whether as a driver, passenger or pedestrian), or you have lost someone as a result of a road accident, you could be eligible to claim compensation. Some common road accident injuries include:

  • Whiplash 
  • Brain damage or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Back injuries and spinal damage
  • Bone fractures
  • Chronic pain
  • Psychological trauma (such as post-taumatic stress disorder)
  • Fatal injuries (dependency claims)

An experienced road accident lawyer will be able to advise you on what you're eligble to claim compensation for.  

It’s our mission to ensure you get your full compensation payout to help you get back to being you as soon as possible. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on a number of factors about your injury. Get in touch with a road injury lawyer, we can help you assess your claim based on the details surrounding your road accident injury. 

Yes, strict time limits can apply for making a road accident injury claim, so it's important you speak with a road accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. 

Our road accident lawyers represent clients on a No Win, No Fee basis. Call us to organise an obligation-free consultation, where we thoroughly explain our fees, and find out how we can help you with your claim. 

Every injury and every road accident claim is different, making it difficult to be able to provide an average payout amount. How much compensation you receive will depend on the circumstances of your injury and the compensation schemes you are eligible for. 

We have an outstanding record of achieving maximum compensation for our clients, and have achieved some of the biggest settlements in Australia. Get in touch to find out how we can help with your road injury claim. 

How long a claim can take will depend on a number of different factors such as whether your injuries have stabilised and the complexity of the case. Once your lawyer has all the details of your accident and injuries, they will be able to advise you on the next steps and how long the claim is likely to take. Get in touch to speak with one of our team about your CTP claim today. 

Our road accident lawyers are experts in this area of the law and have a long history of achieving successful outcomes for our clients. There's no guarantee that the insurance company you're dealing with will tell you about all the compensation you're eligible for, so it's important to have experienced legal support by your side to ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to. We will advocate for you every step of the way, taking on the administrative burden so that you can focus on your treatment and recovery. Contact us today and learn more about how we can help you through this process and work to get you the best result possible.
