- About your injuries
- The date the accident occurred
- Where it happened
- If the police attended the scene
If the police attended they will have completed a Police Report (PR).If you have a copy of the Police Report we will want to know about that too. Sometimes people don’t have the report as the Police are still finalising their investigations.

  • About the accident and what happened
  • The date the accident occurred
  • The location of the accident
  • Your injuries, e.g. whiplash, fractures, etc.
  • If the police attended the scene.

If the police attended, they will have completed a Police Report (QPR). If you have a copy of the Police Report, we will want to know about that too. Sometimes people don’t have the report as the police are still finalising their investigations.

Additionally, we will need your full name, contact details, and how you found us. We will arrange a time for your free appointment to discuss your motor accident compensation claim in more detail as quickly as possible.

In Queensland, you have the right to claim motor vehicle accident compensation for personal injury when you have been injured because of someone else's actions, negligence, or fault. 

Regulations in Queensland provide that only certain information regarding personal injury or compensation claims can be published on a law firm's website. If you would like detailed information regarding our services in this area, we would love to meet with you to provide more information. This is a free consultation.

 

We are No Win No Fee car accident lawyers, and we don't charge uplift fees?

Our team here at O’Shea & Dyer Solicitors 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. You can also pursue a motor vehicle accident compensation claim, if the other vehicle leaves the scene or cannot be identified. *

*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 and what does it include?

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

 

Motor vehicle accident compensation can include:

  • Money for past and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation and pharmaceutical expenses
  • Loss of future income
  • Money for care and assistance, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life


Complying with time limits for motor vehicle accident compensation claims is critical.

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.


Our fee structure is transparent and discussed with you throughout the entire claims process. We offer:

  • No Win No Fee Legal Services.
  • No uplift is charged.
  • The Fee Agreement is explained as many times as you require.
  • Fees are Reasonable
  • Fees are paid after settlement of your claim once settlement money is received.
  • First appointments to discuss your claim or to obtain a second opinion are free.

How do I choose the best motor vehicle accident lawyer for me?

This is what the OSheaDyer Compensation Team of personal injury accident claims lawyers and paralegals had to say:

I want a lawyer who is experienced, honest and reasonable with their fees.

Senior Litigation Paralegal at OSheaDyer, Shelleigh Naessens.

 

I want a lawyer I can trust and who I can have a genuine human interaction with. I want them to be compassionate, hardworking, organised and trustworthy, and available to communicate with me when I need it. And if I’ve had a devastating injury, I want to make sure my lawyer is experienced. I know I will need to tell them lots of personal information, so I want them to be able to make me feel comfortable at every interaction and every step of the process. I know nearly all compensation lawyers are no win no fee – but I want to know from the outset what the fees will be at the end, and how they charge.  

Senior Associate Litigation Lawyer at OSheaDyer, Tyla Leo.

 

I want a lawyer who is confident and experienced, reasonably priced, who gets me a good outcome.

Litigation Paralegal at OSheaDyer, Eleanor Potter.

 

I think the best injury or accident claims lawyer is highly experienced and knows the laws inside and out; and they are familiar with how insurers or claims mangers operate. They also have effective strategies and tactics for dealing with all types of issues at every step of a claim. They need to be professional, and genuinely want to assist me and the best possible outcome for me. I want them to understand my situation. I want to trust them implicitly and be treated with respect. I want honest advice – worst- and best-case scenarios and I would take their advice. I also want a team on my side. If my lawyer is busy – I want to be able to talk to the team he is part of. I want to be able to call and ask questions when I need to. And I want fees to be reasonable and factored into all decisions in the process of the claim.

Director, Senior Associate Litigation Lawyer at OSheaDyer, Ivan Baxter.

 

I would meet with a few litigation compensation claims lawyers before deciding ‘the one for me’. This is such an important decision. I want to know my lawyer will see me through to the end of my claim. I want them to be experienced – someone who has obtained great results for people in the past and not charged them exorbitant fees. 

– Associate Litigation Lawyer at OSheaDyer, Bridget Barrie.
