Fees. We are No Win No Fee car accident lawyers, and we don't charge uplift fees.
We operate on a No Win No Fee basis, and we don’t charge uplift fees. If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident caused by another party or the driver of the car in which you were a passenger, you may be entitled to motor vehicle accident compensation.
These claims are made against the compulsory third-party insurer of the other motor vehicle or the compulsory third-party insurer of the car in which you were a passenger. If the other vehicle has left the scene or cannot be identified* you can still pursue a motor vehicle accident compensation claim.
All Queensland vehicles are required to have third-party insurance as part of the vehicle registration. If there is none, the government body known as the Nominal Defendant will take their place. Your claim will be filed against the party considered ‘at-fault’. You can pursue a claim for loss of future income, pain and suffering, out-of-pocket expenses, medical, rehabilitation and care expenses.

Who can make a motor vehicle accident compensation claim?
You can make a claim if you are:
- The driver or passenger who suffered an injury in a motor vehicle accident
- A dependent of a person who dies in a motor vehicle accident
- A cyclist or pedestrian who suffered an injury in an accident involving a motor vehicle
A motor vehicle accident compensation claim often arises when you have sustained injuries in Motor vehicle accidents resulting from:
- Collisions or attempts to avoid collisions
- Motor vehicle accidents from driving registered or unregistered vehicles
- Loss of control while driving registered or unregistered vehicles
- Loss of control resulting from vehicle defects
What damages can I seek in a motor vehicle accident compensation claim?
The law tries to put a money value on your loss. You can claim compensation for:
- Pain and suffering. This is called general damages or non-economic loss
- Loss of enjoyment of life because of your injury (including psychological injury)
- Past and future wage loss or loss of earnings
- Past and future loss of superannuation entitlements
- Past and future expenses eg. Medical expenses, travel and home and vehicle modifications
- Care and help provided by friends, members of your family or commercial care costs
- Loss of capacity to care for someone who depends on you
Time limits apply for motor vehicle accident compensation claims.
A Compulsory third-party insurer must be notified of a claim within 9 months of the date of the accident or within 1 month of you engaging a solicitor. There are exceptions to this that can be discussed with your lawyer.
There is also a strict 3-year time limit that applies to motor vehicle accident compensation claims. While a 3-year time limit usually applies, it is very important to see a lawyer as soon as possible so that your legal rights can be protected.
If the vehicle is not registered or cannot be identified, a notice must be given to the Nominal Defendant (a government body) within 9 months of the accident. If it isn't, you lose the right to pursue your motor accident compensation claim. It is very important that you see a lawyer as soon as possible.
Going to Court
Not all claims settle 'out of court'.
If a reasonable settlement cannot be negotiated, it may be necessary to go to Court for a Judge to hear your case and make a decision on the amount of damages you will receive.
Going to Court for a Judge to make a decision may be the only way for you to obtain justice.
There are many compensation claims lawyers who don't take claims through to a trial or a Court Hearing. Our lawyers do. We regularly appear in courts throughout Queensland.
