Queensland operates a fault based CTP claim system. If you or a loved one are involved in an accident you may be entitled to compensation if not at fault.
We know that it is particularly difficult to afford legal advice when injured and off work, so that is why we offer to act on a No Win, No Fee, Stress Free Guarantee basis.
The Process
Step 1
Get in touch and we will listen to how your accident happened, the injuries and how your life has been impacted. We will then advise you of the process, outcomes and costs.
Step 2
Assist with the preparation of all the necessary claim documentation and determine the CTP insurer of the motor vehicle at fault.
Step 3
Lodge the documentation with the insurer.
We offer a free* initial consult

There are time limits, so you need to act fast
There are strict time limits to bring a claim, and therefore you should contact us immediately so we can give you advice on the relevant time limits and assist with lodging a Notice of Accident Claim form on the CTP insurer of the vehicle at fault, or where the vehicle cannot be identified.
We can help you with the finer details
There are time limits to start proceedings in court for damages arising from injuries in a motor vehicle accident and that is normally 3 years from the date of the injury. If the person injured was younger than 18 at the time of the accident then the 3 year period to start proceedings in a court commences when they turn 18.
If injured on the road while undertaking a work related journey you may also be entitled to statutory WorkCover benefits and you should discuss this with our principal because this will help with covering any loss of income after the accident.
