If you have suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, you could have the right to claim compensation for financial losses. Our Brisbane injury lawyers work with three main pieces of legislation to determine eligibility.
Legislation | What it Covers |
|---|---|

Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 | Car accidents and Compulsory Third Party (CTP) claims |
Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 | Covers workers’ compensation claims for workplace injuries |
