How AX Compensation Lawyers Can Help
At AX Compensation Lawyers Sunshine Coast, we understand that recovering from a motor vehicle accident can be overwhelming, both physically and emotionally. Our goal is to make the claims process as simple and straightforward as possible, so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the legal complexities. Our team specialises in motor vehicle accident claims and is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process.
Obligation Free Consultation
We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to assess your motor vehicle accident claim and explain your legal options. During this initial meeting, we’ll review your circumstances and help you understand whether you have a valid claim.
We work on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us unless your claim is successful. Additionally, we cover upfront costs such as medical reports and expert assessments, ensuring you can pursue your claim without financial worry.
Lodging the CTP Claim
Once we confirm that you’re eligible for a motor vehicle accident claim, we’ll handle the entire lodgement process for you. This includes:
- Preparing and submitting all legal documents
- Notifying the at-fault party or CTP insurer
- Ensuring all deadlines are met according to Queensland law
You can trust our team to ensure everything is managed properly, so you don’t need to worry about missing any important steps.
Gathering Evidence
A successful motor vehicle accident claim requires the right evidence. While we may need some documents from you, we will help collect additional evidence to support your case. This may include:
- Accident reports and witness statements
- Medical records confirming your injuries
- Expert evaluations or reports on road conditions, negligence, or other factors
We’ll guide you through the entire evidence submission process to ensure all necessary documents are gathered efficiently and on time.
Medical Assessments
If needed, we arrange independent medical assessments to support your motor vehicle accident claim. These reports help determine:
- The extent of your injuries
- How your injuries impact your daily life and work capacity
- The medical treatment and ongoing care you may require
These independent assessments play a critical role in ensuring your compensation accurately reflects the full extent of your injury.
Negotiation & Settlement
Most motor vehicle accident claims are resolved through negotiation, without the need for court intervention. Our legal team will negotiate directly with the CTP insurer or the responsible party to secure a fair settlement. If a suitable agreement can’t be reached, we are fully prepared to represent you in court and fight for the compensation you deserve.
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 Question About Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation Claims
What should I do if the at-fault driver does not have CTP insurance?
If the at-fault driver does not have CTP insurance or if the vehicle is unidentified (such as in a hit-and-run accident), you can still make a claim through the Nominal Defendant. The Nominal Defendant is a statutory body established under Queensland law to provide compensation to individuals injured by uninsured or unidentified vehicles.
It’s important to note that claims involving the Nominal Defendant can be more complex and may involve specific procedures and additional documentation. For this reason, it is crucial to contact a motor vehicle accident compensation claim lawyer who can help navigate the particulars of your case and ensure you meet all necessary requirements. Our team at AX Compensation Lawyers Sunshine Coast is ready to guide you through this process.
How do I prove that another driver was at fault in a motor vehicle accident?
Proving fault in a motor vehicle accident typically relies on gathering comprehensive evidence. Common sources of evidence include:
- Police reports – Officers will document the scene and any preliminary findings on who was at fault.
- Witness statements – Testimonies from people who saw the accident can provide critical insights.
- Dashcam footage – Video footage from your car or another driver’s vehicle can provide irrefutable evidence of the accident’s cause.
- Accident photos – Photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any injuries can help support your case.
- Expert reports – Depending on the complexity of the case, expert evaluations (such as accident reconstruction experts) may be used to demonstrate fault.
Our team will assist you in gathering and compiling this evidence, ensuring that your claim is as strong as possible and giving you the best chance at a fair settlement.
What happens if I missed the deadline to file a motor vehicle accident claim?
In Queensland, CTP claims must typically be initiated within 9 months of the accident date, or within 1 month of seeking legal advice (whichever is earlier). If you miss this initial deadline, you may still be able to proceed with your claim if you provide a reasonable explanation for the delay.
However, claims that are not filed within three years of the accident are generally barred, so it’s essential to act promptly. It’s crucial to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to avoid missing important deadlines. Our team can advise you on whether there are grounds for extending the claim period or provide you with a strategy to navigate late submissions.
What if I have ongoing medical treatment after my accident?
If your motor vehicle accident injuries require ongoing medical treatment, you may still be entitled to claim compensation for future medical costs, rehabilitation, and therapy. This includes physical therapies, psychological counselling, and any treatments required long-term, such as surgeries or specialised care.
In these situations, it is essential to account for your future care needs in your compensation claim. Our team will help ensure that your claim accurately reflects the full extent of your ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation costs. We can arrange independent medical assessments from experts to support these claims and provide evidence of your long-term treatment requirements.
How long does it take to settle a motor vehicle accident claim?
The timeframe to settle a motor vehicle accident claim can vary significantly based on the complexity of the case and the severity of your injuries. Some claims are resolved within 12 months, particularly if the liability is clear, and there are no complications in the medical assessment or settlement negotiations.
However, more serious injury claims, or those involving complex legal issues, may take 2 to 3 years to reach a final settlement. It’s important to be prepared for the duration of your claim, and we’ll work closely with you throughout the process to ensure your case is managed efficiently.
