No Win No Fee Lawyers. No Hidden Costs.
If you have been injured in a car accident or other motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to car accident compensation. Speak to a Cairns personal injury lawyer today.
You are entitled to claim compensation regardless of whether you were:
- A driver of a vehicle;
- A passenger of a vehicle;
- A pedestrian;
- A cyclist; or
- A family member of someone killed in an accident.
In Queensland, there are deadlines for filing a compensation claim for a car or any other type of road accident. This is usually nine months from the date of the accident. Failure to meet these deadlines may result in your claim being denied.
If you start experiencing any symptoms, you must visit a doctor or hospital. These symptoms could be a result of an injury from the accident.
If the vehicle was not insured or you cannot identify the vehicle responsible for your injuries, the Nominal Defendant will be liable to pay any compensation you are entitled to. The Nominal Defendant is a statutory body established solely for this purpose. This body compensates people injured due to negligent driving by unidentified and/or uninsured motor vehicles.
