Frequently Asked Accident Claim Questions
How long after an accident can you file a compensation claim in Queensland?
Strict time limits apply. In Queensland, accident victims typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a legal claim. However, it is important to start the process as soon as possible to ensure that you have enough time to gather all the necessary evidence and file your claim before the deadline. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries. You may hear time limits referred to as the "statute of limitations".
If the incident happened before you turned 18 then you typically have until your 21st birthday.
There are also circumstances in which shorter time limits apply so it’s vital to see legal advice without delay. Our team of accident claim lawyers will provide free initial advice on your legal options and time limits.
If you have suffered a serious injury such as a severe car accident or were badly injured at work and are no longer able to work, you may also be eligible for a TPD insurance (total and permanent disability) claim. This is an insurance policy attached to most Superannuation funds and any payout is in addition to your current Super fund balance. We can run these claims to ensure your best chance of success.Â

How do solicitors charge for accident compensation claims?
Most solicitors including Murphy’s Law Accident Lawyers who handle accident claims in Queensland work on a "No Win, No Fee" basis. This means that they will not charge you any fees unless they win your case. If they are successful, they will charge a fee based on a percentage or actual work done.
Murphy’s Law Accident Lawyers only charge for the actual work done if we win and we work hard to maximise the tax free lump sum you get in your bank account. For some claim types we are able to get the insurer of the at-fault party to pay some of the legal costs to increase the percentage you receive.
As a consumer protection, no win no fee compensation firms in Queensland may never charge more than 50% in legal fees, our typical fees would normally work out much less than that.
Benefits of using an accident compensation lawyer
A lawyer can help you in many ways after an accident. They can provide legal advice and guidance on your rights and options for compensation. They can help you gather evidence to support your claim, such as medical records, police reports, and accident scene witness statements. They can negotiate with the liable parties insurance company on your behalf to ensure that you receive fair compensation to help cover items such as loss of wages and out of pocket expenses.
They can also represent you in court if necessary. While most claims settle out of court, having the ability to take the claim to court provides accident claim lawyers with the ability to negotiate fair compensation.
Is No Win No Fee worth it?
Yes, "No Win No Fee" can be worth it if you have a strong case and are unable to afford legal fees upfront. With "No Win No Fee", you do not have to pay anything unless your accident lawyer wins your case. This means that you can pursue your claim for compensation without financial risk.
Having no upfront costs is especially helpful during a difficult time in which your income has dropped due to the accident. Our experienced team of accident claim lawyers will help maximise your prospects of success.
On the road, at work, in public places and in hospitals, there is typically an insured party who has a duty of care to ensure your safety. When we assess any potential claim we will look to see if there is an insurer of the at-fault party. All claims against the at-fault party are negotiated with their insurance provider by our experienced lawyers.
Our TPD claims also provide help for those who have suffered a major injury such as spinal cord injury from a motorbike accident or a traumatic brain injury from a workplace accident. TPD claims can assist with loss of income, medical expenses and care with a lump sum payment.
How long do most car accident settlements take?
The length of time it takes to settle a car accident claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of compensation involved. Some cases can be resolved quickly through negotiation, while others may take many months or even years to resolve. Typically 18 months to 2 years is common. We will guide you through the legal process and help you get the most of any insurer funds available during that time to help cover out of pocket expenses prior to settlement.
