Car Accident Lawyers
Sunshine Coast
AX Compensation Lawyers Sunshine Coast helps Queenslanders secure fair compensation after car accidents. With a strong local presence and a commitment to personalised support, our team provides trusted legal guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
Sunshine Coast Car Accident Compensation Lawyers
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.
The Support You Need
We believe everyone should have access to quality legal help, regardless of finances. That’s why we offer a No Win, No Fee arrangement: you won’t pay our legal fees unless we secure compensation on your behalf.
What
Compensation
Can You Claim?
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you may be eligible to claim financial compensation to assist with your recovery and help secure your future. The amount you can claim depends on the seriousness of your injuries and how those injuries have affected your daily life, work, and wellbeing.
What You May Be Entitled To:
Medical expenses
Including hospital visits, surgical procedures, specialist appointments, and any future medical care.
Loss of income
Cover for wages lost due to time off work, as well as potential future earnings if your ability to work has been affected.
Pain and suffering
Compensation for the physical and emotional toll your injuries have caused.
Support services and rehabilitation
This can include physiotherapy, in-home care, psychological counselling, and support for mobility or accessibility needs if required.

Our Car Accident Claims Process
At AX Compensation Lawyers, we understand that dealing with motor vehicle accident injuries can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make the 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 a free, no-obligation consultation to assess your car accident claim and explain your legal rights. During this initial discussion, we’ll review the circumstances of your accident and help determine whether you have a valid claim.
We work on a No Win, No Fee basis — meaning you won’t pay legal fees unless your claim succeeds. We also cover upfront disbursements, including the cost of medical reports and expert assessments, so you’re not out of pocket while your claim progresses.
Lodging the Claim
If you’re eligible to make a car accident claim, we’ll manage the entire lodgement process on your behalf. This includes preparing and submitting all required legal documents, notifying the at-fault party or CTP insurer, and ensuring all deadlines are met under Queensland law. Our role is to ensure everything runs smoothly and nothing is missed.
Gathering Evidence
Car accident claims rely on strong evidence. While you may need to provide certain details, we assist with gathering key documents and records to support your case. This can include accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions. We’ll guide you through the process to ensure your claim is well supported.
Medical Assessments
Where appropriate, we arrange independent medical assessments to support your claim. These reports help confirm the extent of your injuries, how they affect your life and work, and what treatment or care you may require going forward. They play a key role in ensuring your compensation accurately reflects your situation.
Negotiation & Settlement
Most car accident compensation claims are resolved without going to court. Our legal team negotiates directly with the CTP insurer or responsible party to reach a fair settlement that reflects your needs. If a suitable agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are fully prepared to represent you through formal legal proceedings.
Choose Your Consultations
We understand that after an injury, it’s not always easy — or even possible — to attend a legal consultation in person. That’s why we offer flexible options to ensure you can get the support you need in a way that suits your circumstances. Whether you’re recovering at home or prefer to speak remotely, we’re here to help you take the next step

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Claims
Do I need a police report to make a car accident compensation claim?
In most cases, yes. A police report is important evidence when making a CTP claim. If police did not attend the scene, it is recommended that you file a report at your local police station.
What if the at-fault driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
You may still be eligible for compensation, and their impairment may support your case. These factors can also affect how the insurer handles liability and may lead to separate criminal proceedings.
Can I make a car accident claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Queensland operates under a contributory negligence system, meaning you may still receive compensation — although the amount may be reduced based on your level of responsibility for the accident.
Will making a CTP claim affect my insurance premiums?
If you are not at fault, your own car insurance premiums are typically not affected. A CTP claim is made against the at-fault driver’s insurer, not your own, unless you were responsible for the crash.
How Long Does a Car Accident Compensation Claim Take in Queensland?
The duration of a car accident compensation claim in Queensland depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and how long it takes for your condition to stabilise. Some claims can be resolved within 12 months. However, if you have sustained more serious injuries or require ongoing medical treatment, the process may take longer.
Compensation cannot usually be finalised until your injuries are considered medically stable — meaning your condition has plateaued and future treatment needs can be properly assessed. This ensures any settlement accurately reflects your long-term recovery and ongoing support needs.
Each claim is different, so it’s important to seek legal advice early to understand realistic timeframes based on your specific situation.
Can I choose my own doctor or treatment provider?
Yes. You can usually see your regular doctor or treatment team. However, insurers may request you attend an independent medical assessment to support the claim process.
