Car Accident Claims in Queensland
If you have been injured in a car accident in Queensland — as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, or cyclist — you may be entitled to CTP compensation for your injuries.
Who can claim after a car accident
Queensland's CTP insurance scheme provides compensation for anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident, including drivers injured by another driver's negligence, passengers in any vehicle involved in the accident regardless of fault, motorcyclists struck by or involved in collisions with other vehicles, cyclists hit by motor vehicles, and pedestrians struck by vehicles. If you were at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to claim if the other driver also contributed to the collision. Queensland uses a comparative negligence system, meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault rather than being eliminated entirely.
What CTP compensation covers
A successful CTP claim in Queensland may include compensation for all reasonable medical and hospital expenses, lost wages for time off work during recovery, loss of future earning capacity if your injuries affect your long-term ability to work, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, future medical treatment and rehabilitation costs, domestic assistance and personal care, and travel costs for medical appointments.
Steps after a car accident in Queensland
After a car accident where you have been injured, you should seek medical attention immediately — your health comes first, call police if they have not already attended, exchange details with the other driver including name, licence number, registration, and insurer, photograph the scene, damage to vehicles, and your injuries if possible, keep records of all medical treatment, and contact ClaimHub Legal for a free assessment. You have 9 months from the date of the accident to lodge a Notice of Accident Claim Form. Our team handles all the paperwork for you.
Common car accident injuries
Injuries from car accidents range from minor to catastrophic and may include whiplash and neck injuries (particularly common in rear-end collisions), back injuries including disc herniations and spinal fractures, broken bones and fractures, head injuries and concussions, soft tissue injuries, psychological injuries including anxiety about driving and PTSD, and internal injuries. Some injuries, particularly whiplash and soft tissue damage, may not become fully apparent for days or weeks after the accident.
