Legal help after a truck accident in Queensland

In summary: After a truck collision, sorting medical care, time away from work and insurer contact can feel overwhelming. Queensland’s CTP process is fault based, so the facts about what happened matter. Maurice Blackburn is here to help you understand your options.

What does the Queensland CTP process cover?

CTP, or Compulsory Third Party insurance, covers injuries when another road user caused the crash through negligent driving, meaning carelessness the law recognises. It can cover medical treatment, income lost while you can’t work, care, and compensation for pain or reduced earning capacity where an injury lasts. It doesn’t cover repairs to your vehicle. The truck driver’s CTP insurer responds to the injury claim.

Which road accident lawyers can help with a transport company claim?

For this type of Queensland matter, we handle road accident claims across Australia, except in New South Wales and South Australia. We can review the accident circumstances, prepare the notice of accident claim form and deal with the CTP insurer’s requests for information and medical appointments.

Documents that can help include:

• the police event number or crash report

• medical certificates and treatment records

• photographs, witness details and insurer correspondence

• information identifying the truck, driver and transport operator
