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.

Can I 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

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.
