How we help
Personal injury claims we handle
Whatever the cause of your injury, we’ll point you to the right claim and run it end to end.
Road Accident Injury Claims
Injured as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist or rider? You may be entitled to claim under Queensland’s compulsory third party (CTP) insurance scheme.
Workplace Injury Claims
Injuries or illness arising from your work may give rise to a workers’ compensation claim — and sometimes an additional common-law claim where negligence was involved.
Public Liability Injury Claims
Injured in a public place — a shopping centre, footpath, car park or rental property — because of unsafe conditions or a failure to take reasonable care? You may have a claim.
Superannuation & TPD Claims
If an injury or illness stops you returning to work, you may be entitled to a Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) benefit through your super — regardless of fault.

The personal injury claim process in Queensland
Personal injury claims in Queensland are governed by legislation that sets out how claims must be made and how insurers and injured parties engage with each other. A claim may allow you to seek compensation for losses such as medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, care needs, and pain and suffering. The exact process depends on the type of claim.
Most claims begin with an initial consultation, where the circumstances of the injury are assessed and the right steps identified. Evidence is then gathered — which may include medical records, accident reports, witness statements and financial documentation. A key concept in many claims is contributory negligence, which considers whether the injured person contributed to the incident and can affect the compensation available. Most matters are resolved through pre-court processes, including negotiation with insurers; court proceedings are only considered where a matter cannot be resolved that way.
Personal injury claim entitlements
Depending on the circumstances, a personal injury claim may include compensation for:
- General damages — pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
- Medical & rehabilitation expenses, past and future
- Loss of income, including reduced future earning capacity
- Other financial losses — travel, care needs, home or vehicle modifications
Each claim is assessed individually, based on the medical evidence and the impact of the injury on your life.
Time limits apply — act early
Strict time limits apply to compensation claims in Queensland. Delaying can mean losing your right to claim, so it’s important to seek advice as soon as possible to ensure the necessary steps are taken within the required timeframe.
