- FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
There is no cost to consult with us. If we take on your matter, our fees are only payable if we successfully recover compensation for you. We do not charge an uplift fee — meaning we do not increase our fees based on the amount recovered. The specific terms are set out in our costs agreement, which we explain clearly before you sign anything.
Yes, in most cases. Queensland operates under a contributory negligence framework, which means your compensation is reduced proportionally — not eliminated — based on your share of fault. If you were assessed as 30% at fault, you recover 70% of your full entitlement. Even if you were 50% responsible, you can still receive half. Fault is not determined by what you or the other driver believe happened. Insurers routinely overstate a claimant's contribution to reduce their payout. Having proper legal representation means your contribution to the accident is assessed fairly — not inflated. We can review your circumstances and give you a clear picture of where you stand.
Compensation is paid by the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer of the at-fault vehicle — not the driver personally. Every registered vehicle in Queensland is required to hold CTP insurance as part of its registration. This means the financial burden does not fall on the individual driver, regardless of who was at fault.
Generally no. The claim is made against the CTP insurer, not the driver personally. The driver is not required to pay anything out of pocket. This is the case even if the at-fault driver is a family member, friend, or colleague — and it is one reason why many people hesitate unnecessarily.
CTP insurance covers compensation for personal injury caused by a motor vehicle accident. It is compulsory and included in vehicle registration. Third party insurance — sometimes called third party fire and theft — is a private vehicle insurance product that covers damage to other people's property. It does not cover personal injury. If you have been injured, it is the CTP scheme that applies — not the driver's private vehicle insurance.
There is no fixed amount. Compensation depends on your injuries, age, income, medical expenses, care needs, and the broader impact on your life. A realistic estimate is only possible once your injuries have stabilised and medical evidence is available. We will give you an honest assessment of your position once we have reviewed the details of your matter.
It depends on the severity of your injuries and the complexity of the matter. More serious matters involving ongoing treatment or disputed liability can take longer. We keep you informed at every stage so you always know where things stand.
Most claims settle without going to court. Queensland's CTP process includes a compulsory conference — a structured meeting where both sides come together to negotiate a resolution. This stage resolves the majority of matters. If agreement can't be reached, the matter can proceed to court, but that's relatively uncommon. We'd walk you through what that means, the likely timeline, and whether it's the right path before any decision is made.
CTP insurance does not cover property damage — only personal injury. Vehicle damage must be pursued separately, either through the at-fault driver's comprehensive insurance or directly against them. We can assist you in pursuing your property damage claim alongside your personal injury matter.
