What is a car accident claim?

In Queensland, if you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident that is the fault (partially or completely) of another vehicle owner or driver, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim against the at-fault party for any injuries or property damage sustained. Additionally, if the accident caused a fatality, dependants may be able to bring a claim for funeral expenses and loss of dependency. 

Motor vehicle accidents cover a range of situations, including motorbikes, pedestrians, passengers, cars, trucks and cyclists.

Where can I find advice on car accident claims?

If you’ve been involved in a car accident and need to make a compensation claim, you should seek legal advice from a specialised compensation lawyer. The legal claims process can feel complex and overwhelming and strict time limits do apply. So, it’s important you know where you stand to ensure the best possible outcome for your situation.

Can I make a compensation claim as a passenger in a car accident?

If you’ve suffered a personal injury as a passenger in a car accident, you have the right to claim compensation from the CTP insurer of the at-fault driver. This includes the driver of the vehicle you were in. It might be reassuring to note that, should the at-fault driver be a family member or friend, any personal injury claim is made against the CTP insurer and not the driver personally, and as such the insurer meets all of the costs.
