There are only limited circumstances that would stop you from making a compensation claim. You are entitled to make a claim in the following situations:

I am a passenger, the driver of the vehicle I was travelling on was at fault
I am a driver/passenger, the other driver was at fault and caused the accident
I am a driver/passenger, the other driver was drunk and caused the accident
I am a pedestrian/cyclist and I was hit by a car
The at-fault driver hit and run

However, please bear in mind that you have to seek for lawyer’s advice as there may be special circumstances.

In summary, as long as you meet the below conditions, you are entitled to a claim in Queensland:

You had an accident
You are not at fault
You sustained injuries because of the accident
You may or have suffered a loss due to the injuries
