Motorcycle Accident Claims
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, AX Compensation Lawyers are here to help you secure fair compensation. We specialise in guiding Queenslanders through every stage of their claim so you can focus on your recovery.
Have You Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?
Motorcycle accidents can result in severe injuries and life-changing consequences. Whether you’re a rider or a pillion passenger, we’re here to ensure you understand your rights and receive the support you need—both physically and financially—after an accident.
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.
Can I Make a Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claim?
You may be able to lodge a motorcycle accident compensation claim in Queensland if you can show that another driver was partly or entirely at fault for the incident that caused your injuries. Our personal injury lawyers can guide you through the CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance claims process, aiming for a fair settlement that covers your losses. It’s important to act promptly, as strict time limits apply to motorcycle accident compensation claims.
Here’s what we typically need to know:
- Your detailed account of the motorcycle accident, including how the collision occurred
- Motor vehicle registration numbers and the QLD police report number
- The accident date and extent of your injuries
- Copies of your medical bills and treatment records
- Employment details, particularly if you’ve lost income due to your injuries

Lodging the Claim

- Notifying the responsible party.
- 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 motorcycle 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 motorcycle accident compensation claims are settled without going to court. We negotiate directly with insurers and responsible parties to secure a fair settlement that reflects your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accident Claims
Can I Claim Compensation If I Am A Passenger injured in a Motorcycle Accident?
Yes, as a passenger in a motorcycle accident, you can claim against a CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurer if you are injured in an accident. CTP insurance covers passengers, as well as riders, pedestrians, and other road users.
How Long Do I Have to Make a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
Strict time limits apply in Queensland, so it’s important to seek advice as soon as possible to ensure your claim is lodged within the required timeframe.
What If I Was Partially at Fault in a Motorcycle Accident?
You may still be eligible for compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident, however, the amount could be adjusted based on your share of responsibility.
Can I claim compensation if I was NOT wearing protective gear at the time of the motorcycle accident?
Yes, if you were not wearing protective gear you may still be entitled to make a claim for compensation. While gear may reduce injury severity, it doesn’t eliminate the risk of long-term damage. It may be that you share some responsibility for the extent of your injuries which may adjust your compensation.
Can I Make a Claim If the Vehicle That Caused the Accident Was Unregistered, Uninsured, or Fled the Scene?
Yes, you can make a motorcycle accident compensation claim even if the vehicle that caused the accident was unregistered, uninsured, or fled the scene. In such cases, you may be able to claim compensation through the Nominal Defendant, a statutory body that acts as the insurer for individuals injured due to the negligent driving of unidentified or uninsured vehicles.
Given the strict time limits for making a motorcycle accident compensation claim under this scheme, it’s crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible. A lawyer can guide you through the process and help ensure your claim is handled efficiently.
Can I claim compensation for long-term rehabilitation costs after a motorcycle accident?
Yes, if your injuries require ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or lifestyle adjustments, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical expenses and lost earning capacity.
