Road Accident Claims in QLD: A Step-by-Step Guide

Motor vehicle accidents can have lasting physical, emotional, and financial impacts. If the accident was fully or partly someone else’s fault, you may be eligible to make a claim through Queensland’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme.

Importantly, you don’t need to be the driver to claim. Passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians may also be covered.

What to Do After an Accident

To protect your rights, you should:

1. Report the accident to police
2. Seek medical attention and obtain a certificate
3. Identify the at-fault vehicle’s insurer
4. Lodge a claim within the required timeframe

Because the process can be complex, many people choose legal assistance to ensure everything is handled correctly.

Why Timing Matters

Strict deadlines apply to CTP claims in Queensland. Acting early helps avoid delays and strengthens your case.
