How AX Compensation Lawyers Can Help
At AX Compensation Lawyers, we understand that being injured in a car accident can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make the car accident claims process as straightforward as possible, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we handle the legal complexities. Our team specialises in motor vehicle accident claims, providing the guidance and support you need every step of the way.
Obligation Free Consultation
We offer an obligation free consultation to assess your car accident claim and explain your legal options. During this initial discussion, we’ll review your situation and help you understand whether you have a valid claim.
We operate on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning you won’t need to pay our legal fees unless your car accident claim is successful. Additionally, we cover upfront disbursements, such as the costs of obtaining medical reports and experts assessments, so you can pursue your claim without financial burden.
Lodging the Claim
Once we confirm that you have a valid car accident compensation claim, we take care of the entire lodgement process on your behalf. This includes:
- Preparing and submitting all legal documents.
- Notifying the responsible party and/or CTP insurers.
- Ensuring all deadlines are met under Queensland law.
Our team ensures that everything is handled correctly, so you don’t have to worry about missing key steps.
Gathering Evidence
Building a strong car accident compensation claim requires the right evidence. While some documents may need to be provided by you, we assist in obtaining additional evidence to support your case. This may include:
- Incident reports and witness statements.
- Medical records confirming your injury.
- Safety reports and expert evaluations on hazards or negligence.
We guide you through the evidence submission process, ensuring all required documents are gathered efficiently.
Medical Assessments
If needed, we arrange independent medical assessments to support your claim. These reports help determine:
- The extent of your injuries.
- How your injury affects your daily life and work capacity.
- The medical treatment and ongoing care you may require.
Negotiation & Settlement
Most car accident compensation claims are settled without going to court. We negotiate directly with Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurers and at-fault parties to secure a fair settlement that reflects your situation. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, our experienced legal team is prepared to represent you in court.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Compensation Claims
Can I Make A Claim If The Vehicle That Caused The Accident Was Unregistered Or Uninsured?
Yes, you can make a claim if the vehicle that caused the accident was unregistered or uninsured. In such cases, you can pursue compensation against the Nominal Defendant. The Nominal Defendant is a statutory body set up act as the insurer to compensate individuals who are injured due to the negligent driving of vehicles that are either unidentified or lack compulsory third-party (CTP) insurance.
Given the strict time limits for making a claim under this scheme, it’s crucial to seek legal advice immediately. Your lawyer will guide you through the process and help ensure your claim is handled efficiently.
Can I Claim Compensation If I Am A Passenger In A Car Accident?
Yes, as a passenger in a vehicle, you can make a car accident claim against a CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurer if you are injured in an accident. It does not matter whether the driver of the vehicle you were in, or another driver was at fault—you are still entitled to claim. CTP insurance covers passengers, as well as drivers, pedestrians, and other road users, provided at least one driver involved was at fault or partially at fault for the accident.
Will A CTP Insurer Cover My Legal Costs?
In some cases, the CTP insurer may be responsible for paying a portion of your legal costs associated with bringing a motor vehicle claim against them. For this to occur the amount of compensation paid must exceed certain thresholds. You will never recover 100% of your legal costs.
Will I Need to Go to Court to Settle My Car Accident Compensation Claim?
In the majority of cases, CTP claims in Queensland are resolved through negotiation and settlement without the need to go to court. Most claims are settled through discussions between your legal team and the insurer, which can lead to a fair settlement.
However, if the parties cannot agree on the compensation amount, it may be necessary to go to court to resolve the claim. This is usually a last resort and happens in a minority of cases.
How Long Do I Have to Make a Car Accident Compensation Claim?
In Queensland, a car accident compensation claim must be commenced within 9 months of the accident date or within one month of seeking legal advice (whichever is earlier).
If the claim is not commenced within these timeframes, a reasonable explanation for the delay must be provided. Claims not lodged within 3 years are barred.
Due to these strict time limits in Queensland, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Can I Still Make A Car Accident Compensation Claim If I Was Partially at Fault?
You may still be eligible for compensation; however, the amount could be adjusted based on your share of responsibility.
Who Pays for My Treatment?
Once a CTP insurer accepts liability for the accident, they are obligated to cover “reasonable and appropriate” medical and rehabilitation expenses related to your injuries. This includes costs for hospital care, surgeries, medications, and ongoing rehabilitation.
