If you’ve been injured on the Gold Coast, Brisbane or elsewhere in Queensland, it’s natural to feel uncertain about your rights and how to start a car accident claim. We’ve answered some common questions below, and you’re welcome to contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation.
If you’ve been injured after a car accident, seek any urgent medical treatment required, report the crash to the police and collect any evidence to support your case. Speaking with experienced injury lawyers early ensures your insurance claim or car accident compensation claim is managed properly. Free initial advice is available.
Eligibility depends on the circumstances of the accident, the injuries sustained, and how they are assessed under Queensland law. Even if you were partly at fault, you may still be able to claim. A motor vehicle accident lawyer can explain your rights and entitlements. If you would like a free claim check or to better understand your legal rights, get in touch with our team today for a no-obligation chat.
Depending on the circumstance, an injured person may receive compensation for lost wages, medical treatment, rehabilitation expenses and future medical expenses. Lump sums may also be available for serious injury or permanent disability. At Biddle Law, our Gold Coast compensation lawyers have strong legal expertise and can help assess how much compensation you might be entitled to, based on your evidence and health practitioner treatment needs.
Queensland imposes strict time limits for motor accident and personal injury claims. You must lodge a Notice of Accident Claim Form within 9 months of the accident (or within 1 month of consulting a lawyer) and start court proceedings within 3 years.
Yes, you may still be entitled to personal injury compensation even if you were partly responsible. Compensation law allows for contributory negligence, meaning your car accident compensation claim could be reduced but not denied. Free consultation with experienced injury lawyers can clarify your rights and help secure compensation for medical treatment, lost wages and rehabilitation expenses.
To claim compensation, you’ll need medical reports, police reports, proof of lost wages and receipts for expenses incurred. Ongoing medical treatment records and health practitioner treatment notes are also vital. A good personal lawyer will ensure all relevant documents are included, making the whole process easier.
While you can lodge an insurance claim yourself, engaging expert personal injury lawyers gives you the best chance of a successful outcome. Our Gold Coast compensation lawyers offer no-win, no-fee arrangements, meaning no upfront fees. This reduces financial risk while ensuring strong legal representation and advice on how much compensation you may recover.
We do not charge uplift fees, even though under Queensland law, Personal Injury firms are entitled to apply an ‘uplift’ fee of up to 25% on their professional fees if the case achieves a successful outcome. While this is a common practice across the industry, unlike many Personal Injury law firms in Queensland, we’ve chosen not to apply this uplift, keeping our pricing transparent and predictable for clients.
In addition, Queensland legislation limits a Personal Injury firm’s professional fee to a maximum of 50% of the client’s net settlement amount (that is, after statutory refunds such as Medicare, WorkCover and Centrelink, as well as disbursements, have been paid). To ensure our clients receive the fairest possible outcome, we cap our professional fees at just 35% of the net settlement amount, well below the legal maximum. This approach means you understand your fees from the outset, retain more of your compensation and can move forward with greater financial peace of mind.
