Personal Areas of Law FAQs (Queensland Law)
How do I make a personal injury claim in Queensland?
To make a personal injury claim in Queensland, you must give notice of the claim within the relevant limitation period (usually 3 years from the injury). You need to prove negligence caused your injury. We handle motor vehicle accident claims, workers compensation, medical negligence, and public liability claims.
How much compensation can I get for a car accident in Queensland?
Compensation for a car accident in Queensland depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and your financial losses. The CTP scheme provides statutory benefits for medical expenses and lost income, plus lump sum damages for more serious injuries.
What is a TPD claim and how does it work?
A Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim is made against your superannuation insurance policy. If you are permanently unable to work due to injury or illness, you may be entitled to a lump sum payment. We help Queenslanders navigate the TPD claims process.
