What Are My Legal Rights Under Queensland Compensation Law?
Compensation laws exist to ensure that people can take legal action after an accident, getting sick or being hurt. In Queensland, different rules apply depending on the nature of your injury and when and where it occurred. Claiming the same type of injury can vary significantly if it’s caused by a motor vehicle accident or happened while you were doing your job.
This is because different types of personal injuries are processed under different legislation. For instance, if you are hurt at work, your claim will be managed as a workers’ compensation claim through WorkCover in most cases. Motor vehicle accidents are handled by the CTP insurance company, whereas Public Liability claims are made through the policyholder’s insurer.
Our team will help you understand the process for claiming the relevant Queensland legislation and ensure you have the information to make an informed decision about your matter.
How Does A 'No Win, No Fee' Compensation Claim Work?
AMK Lawyers offer a ‘no win, no fee’ structure. This means you won’t have the pressure of upfront costs, which can stop some people from accessing the legal advice they need. This type of payment structure allows people to make a claim and for their legal fees to be paid if and when a claim has a successful outcome.
It’s important to understand that not all ‘No Win, No Fee’ lawyers offer the same terms, and in some cases, people can be left with large bills if a claim isn’t successful. All costs will be disclosed in a ‘Cost Agreement’ – which outlines what your legal team will receive when your matter is finalised. Please be very sure to read these terms carefully, as many have hidden costs involved. If required, Get a second opinion so you know where you stand before signing anything, as these fees can significantly affect what you will receive from your claim.
AMK Lawyers will be transparent about costs from our first meeting and ensure that every aspect of your claim is comprehensively managed. You will always be kept informed about the process every step of the way. Working with our team, you can feel assured that you will receive compassionate guidance from our experienced compensation lawyers, ensuring your rights are upheld.

Car Accidents & CTP Claims
In Queensland, car accident compensation claims are typically made through the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme, which is paid when people register their vehicles. CTP claims apply to drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists injured on the road, and to all vehicle types driven on Queensland roads.
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you must notify the CTP insurer of the at-fault driver. If you don’t know their details, the Queensland Government can assist you in finding this information. Claims can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, loss of income, and pain and suffering. Time limits apply, too. You must lodge an Accident Notification Form within 28 days and a Notice of Accident Claim Form within nine months of the accident or the onset of symptoms. Consulting with experienced compensation lawyers can help you navigate the claims process and ensure compliance with all requirements.

These claims can be made for accidents in parks, shopping centres, or rental properties. Compensation can cover medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering. Claims must be lodged within three years of the incident.
The process involves gathering evidence, such as incident reports and medical records, and demonstrating negligence. Consulting with experienced compensation lawyers can help ensure all legal requirements are met and increase the likelihood of a successful public liability claim.
