Understanding 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.
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.
