If you have been a driver, rider, passenger or a pedestrian that has been involved in a motor vehicle accident that is not your fault, or only partly your fault, you have a right to claim compensation in Queensland.
Because it is in the insurance company’s interests to try and limit the amount of compensation you can recover, they will not tell you what you can claim and what your claim is truly worth.
Insurance companies have their own team of Lawyers who do everything they can to try and reduce the amount of your claim.
Without legal representation you will be at a big disadvantage when dealing with the insurance companies and their lawyers.
If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident in Queensland, it is critical that you obtain advice from a lawyer who is very experienced in Motor Vehicle Accident claims to ensure that you are aware of all the benefits available to you.

Settlement negotiations refer to pre-court stage where the parties may try to reach a resolution without litigation. The negotiations could take place between legal representatives upon the instructions of their respective clients.
Although you will need to attend in person to the formal settlement negotiations, your legal representatives will make all the submissions and representations for you. This is the stage where the plaintiff could offer a settlement amount to the injured party to avoid trial.
Personal injury claims in Queensland are regulated by State legislation. The objective of settlement negotiations is to encourage the parties to reach settlement and for the injured party to receive compensation fast without the need to proceed to a trial or litigation, which is costly and time-consuming for all stakeholders.
These vary and it is important to check you are in the time frame to make a claim.
