Car Accident Lawyers
Brisbane.

AMK Compensation Lawyers handles the full range of motor vehicle injury claims arising from accidents across Greater Brisbane, including CTP claims, passenger claims, pedestrian and cyclist claims, and motorbike accident claims.

Common claim types for Brisbane residents include driver and passenger injury claims against the at-fault driver's CTP insurer, pedestrian and cyclist claims arising from collisions with motor vehicles, motorbike accident claims which frequently involve serious injuries and significant compensation, and rideshare accident claims for passengers in Uber, DiDi or similar vehicles.

The M1 Pacific Motorway, Gateway Motorway, Logan Motorway, ICB and Riverside Expressway generate substantial accident volumes. High-speed motorway accidents typically involve more serious injuries than low-speed urban collisions, and the nature of the road environment is relevant to how the claim is assessed.

CTP — Compulsory Third Party insurance — is mandatory for every registered Queensland vehicle. It provides compensation to people injured by the negligent driving of the insured vehicle. Your claim is made against the at-fault driver's CTP insurer, not against the driver personally.

Under the Queensland CTP scheme, the single most important deadline is lodging your notice of claim within 9 months of the accident. Failure to give notice within this time can permanently affect your ability to claim general damages for pain and suffering. Our CTP lawyers ensure notice is lodged promptly and correctly.

CTP compensation in Queensland covers medical and rehabilitation expenses, past and future loss of income and superannuation, the cost of care and assistance, and general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.

For Brisbane workers in professional, trade, retail and healthcare roles, economic loss claims — covering lost wages and future earning capacity — can form the most substantial component of a serious injury claim. Superannuation contributions lost during a period of incapacity are also compensable. The total compensation available depends on the severity of injury, age, employment circumstances and the quality of medical and economic evidence assembled.

The 9-month notice requirement is the most critical deadline for Queensland CTP claims. Under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994, you must give notice of your claim to the at-fault driver's CTP insurer within 9 months of the accident.

The general limitation period for commencing proceedings is 3 years from the date of the accident. However, a claim that has not had a proper notice lodged at the 9-month mark may be significantly restricted even within this window. CCTV footage from Brisbane intersections is typically overwritten within 30 days, making early action critical for preserving evidence.
