People in Queensland with a psychological reaction to a tragic accident may be eligible to claim nervous shock. This type of personal injury claim is generally more relevant to close friends and family members; however, they can also apply to first responders such as police, ambulance and fire officers.
If you were not at fault for your motor vehicle accident and your injuries were assessed as non-minor (permanent impairment), you could be eligible for a lump sum payment. This payment is the only way to gain funds for your recovery over the past 24 months.
For some people, their physical or psychological injury gets more severe over time, so if you were initially assessed as minor, you could become a non-minor. Speak with your lawyer for advice on how lump sum consideration may apply to your case.

Your payout amount will depend on the nature of your injuries and their impact on your life. Everyone has unique circumstances when it comes to road accidents. In Queensland, the average CTP payout figure is approximately $100,000.
It is typical for the CTP insurer to appoint an investigator for your incident. This investigator will get statements from the vehicle drivers and any witnesses. They will probably ask you for a statement too. You must seek legal advice before speaking with your investigator. Your account must be truthful and accurate. How you word your account is significant to the outcome of your case.
First, you need an experienced solicitor to help you establish the other party’s liability. Proving liability is at the heart of your legal matter and helps determine your personal injury payout. Time limits apply when seeking legal advice, so act now.
Secondly, CTP insurers have legal teams that seek to limit their liability. That’s their job. They could try to deny liability altogether or reduce it. A good CTP lawyer understands and will guide you through the process.
Thirdly, a solicitor will help you access rehabilitation funding for up to six months (or longer) once your claim is accepted.
CTP Claims will settle at different times depending on individual circumstances. Every auto accident is different in the time they take to complete. Claims for minor injuries usually resolve more quickly than significant accidents or when there is doubt about who was at fault.
If the vehicle at fault is unregistered, there is no CTP insurer. In this circumstance, you can bring a claim against the State of Queensland’s Nominal Defendant. This statutory body was created under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994, enabling injured people to claim personal injury compensation. There are strict time limits to submit your case to the Nominal Defendant. Once you have lodged your claim, they will fund your medical costs while your car accident compensation claim progresses.
You can choose to represent yourself for your legal damages case. However, statistics demonstrate that people who choose to represent themselves in CTP claims against insurers, expecting to save money, are usually disappointed.
Data from the Motor Accident Insurance Commission reveals that those who filed their own claims on average received settlements of less than $10,000, while those with representation from a CTP claim lawyer achieved average payouts of around $90,000.
Be aware that once you speak with a law firm about lodging an accident claim, you have one month to start your case.
