If you’ve had an injury on the road and the accident was caused, at least in part, by someone else, we can help.
Motor Vehicle Accident claims can be made for injuries sustained in or associated with a motor vehicle, bus or truck, motorcycle or bicycle, or if struck by one of these as a pedestrian.
In Queensland, the “rego” purchased for each vehicle provides the driver with insurance in the event that that vehicle is involved in an accident and someone is hurt. This means that the insurer is liable to pay, rather than the person driving or riding in the vehicle. And, even when someone has forgotten or has failed to pay their vehicle registration, a claim can still be lodged by an injured person, though shorter timeframes apply for lodging such claims.
Who can make a motor vehicle accident claim?
Claims may be made by any of the following:
The driver of a motor vehicle (including motorcycles)
The passenger in or on a motor vehicle
Pedestrians struck by a motor vehicle
Cyclists who are involved in a vehicle collision
Motorcyclists who are involved in a vehicle collision
What types of things can I claim?
Typically, compensation claims include an allowance for:
Pain and suffering
Out-of-pocket expenses, such as medical, rehabilitation and medication expenses
Loss of income (both past, current and future)
Loss of superannuation upon loss of income
Future expenses, such as paid domestic assistance, medical costs and medication expenses
Interest upon losses suffered
(In some cases) care and assistance provided by family and friends.
