Understanding Queensland Compensation Law.
What Are My Legal Rights Under Queensland Compensation Law?
Compensation laws exist so 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 — the same type of injury can be treated very differently if it's caused by a motor vehicle accident versus happening while you're doing your job.
That's because different types of personal injury are processed under different legislation. If you're hurt at work, your claim will usually be managed as a workers' compensation claim through WorkCover. Motor vehicle accidents are handled by the CTP insurance company, while public liability claims are made through the policyholder's insurer. We'll help you understand the process under the relevant Queensland legislation, so you can make an informed decision about your matter.
How Does A 'No Win, No Fee' Compensation Claim Work?
A 'no win, no fee' structure means you won't have the pressure of upfront costs — which stops some people from accessing the legal advice they need. Your legal fees are paid if and when your claim has a successful outcome.
It's important to understand that not all 'No Win, No Fee' lawyers offer the same terms — in some cases, people are left with large bills if a claim isn't successful. All costs should be disclosed in a Cost Agreement outlining what your legal team will receive when your matter is finalised. Read those terms carefully, as many have hidden costs, and get a second opinion if you need one before signing anything.
AMK Lawyers will be transparent about costs from our first meeting, keep you informed every step of the way, and ensure every aspect of your claim is comprehensively managed.
Car Accidents & CTP Claims
In Queensland, car accident compensation claims are typically made through the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme, paid when people register their vehicles. CTP claims apply to drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists injured on the road, across all vehicle types on Queensland roads.
If you're injured in a motor vehicle accident, you must notify the at-fault driver's CTP insurer — the Queensland Government can help you find their details if you don't have them. Claims can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, loss of income, and pain and suffering. Strict time limits apply: 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.
Workers Compensation Claims
Workers' compensation claims in Queensland are handled through WorkCover. If you suffer a workplace injury or illness, you must notify your employer and lodge a claim with WorkCover within six months. Claims can cover medical and rehabilitation costs, loss of wages, and permanent impairment benefits.
The process involves medical assessments and documentation of the injury. Time limits are strict and late claims may be rejected — we provide legal support and guidance throughout, ensuring your rights are protected and you receive the appropriate compensation.
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence claims involve proving that a healthcare professional's breach of duty or negligence caused harm. They can cover medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and ongoing care costs, and typically require expert medical testimony.
The time limit for lodging a claim is three years from the date the negligence was discovered. Given the complexity of these cases, specialist advice is important to gather the necessary evidence, navigate the legal process, and ensure a fair outcome.
Public Liability Claims
Public liability claims cover injuries sustained in public and private places due to another party's negligence — 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. We'll make sure all legal requirements are met to give your claim the best chance of success.
Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) Claims
TPD claims are made through various channels including superannuation funds, WorkCover, or private insurance policies. They cover injuries or illnesses resulting in permanent impairment that prevents you from working, and compensation can include lump-sum payments and ongoing financial support.
The process requires medical evidence, including assessments of the extent of the disability. Time limits vary depending on the policy or scheme, so it's essential to act promptly — we'll help you navigate the process and make sure your claim is made in time.

"I truly believe that if it was not for Michael and his team at AMK Lawyers, I might not be here writing this review today. Michael is an incredibly smart man and has worked as a defence lawyer for the insurers before starting his own firm. He foresaw and knew every tactic they used before they used it. To this day I am still blown away how Michael and AMK got the insurer to a really good settlement when I was backed into a corner. I am forever grateful."
"Thank you to all the team at AMK for all your support. Michael has a ton of knowledge and has led and guided me throughout the whole process. Thank you Michael — your knowledge allowed me to get a good result. Highly recommend."
"Michael Singh was an incredible help during a very difficult recovery. He was patient, kind, and professional, providing a no-nonsense assessment that honestly accounted for both the physical injuries and the mental health toll. It's rare to find a lawyer who handles every single detail personally. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would do it in a heartbeat."
"AMK Lawyers were very supportive in my matter. The teamwork across the firm was excellent. Their communication was clear at every step and I would be more than happy to work with them again."
"When I had a motor vehicle accident, I was very scared and confused. After I talked to Mr. Michael Singh, I knew I'd be in good hands. From day one the level of communication and guidance was really outstanding. I am eternally grateful to Michael, Michelle and the team for everything they did. Moving forward after the accident feels easy with AMK Lawyers."
"Michael Singh is very friendly and patient, even with my limited English background. Such amazing help with my work injury. Very, very honest and humble man.

What is a free case review or compensation claim assessment?
A free case review is an initial consultation with our compensation lawyers to evaluate your personal injury claim. It involves discussing your case, reviewing any evidence, and determining the potential for a claim to go ahead. This completely free service helps you understand your legal rights and the claims process without any financial risk.
How long do personal injury claims take to be finalised?
The timeframe varies based on the case's complexity, the extent of the injuries, and the cooperation of the parties involved. Generally, personal injury claims can take a few months to several years to reach a settlement or court decision. In a free consultation we can give you a more accurate estimate for your particular matter.
What is the process for gathering evidence?
Gathering evidence involves collecting medical records, accident reports, witness statements and expert opinions. Our lawyers in Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast work with you to compile all relevant information — thorough documentation supports your claim and is crucial for a successful outcome under Queensland law.
What documents and information will I need to provide?
You'll need to provide medical records, accident reports, witness statements and any correspondence related to the incident. We may also require medical and rehabilitation treatment details, employment records and insurance information.
Is filing a compensation claim worthwhile?
It can be — if you've suffered a personal injury due to someone else's negligence, a claim helps cover medical expenses, lost wages and other damages. We'll advise you honestly on the likelihood of success and the potential compensation you could receive.
How do 'no win, no fee' lawyers make money?
'No win, no fee' lawyers are paid from the compensation awarded if your claim succeeds. There are no upfront costs — you only pay legal fees if you win. This reduces the financial risk of seeking compensation, letting you work with an experienced team without losing time or money on claims that aren't valid or properly lodged.
What determines the assessment of a whiplash injury?
