Have you been injured in a motorbike accident as a rider or pillion passenger? You may be entitled to make a motorbike accident compensation claim. In Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Queensland, unless you were the only party at fault, you will be eligible to make a claim to recover at least some of the costs associated with your motorbike accident.
You must be able to show that the accident was caused by or contributed to by another party. As motorbike accident lawyers and solicitors, we are here to help make the compensation claim process as simple as we can. If you can show that the accident was caused or contributed to by the other party, then you can make a claim against the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer of the vehicle involved in the accident.
Under Queensland law, accidents that involve another party must be reported to the police, so this is a necessary step to take before lodging your claim.
How Can I Make A Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claim?
Our motorbike accident lawyers and solicitors can help with your motorcycle accident injury claim. We have been assisting Queenslanders for over 34 years, have accumulated a wealth of experience as motorcycle accident compensation claims specialists, and have helped countless motorcyclists with their claims for injury compensation.
Your first step should be (if you haven’t already) to report the accident to the police. You must do this to make sure that you are covered and that you get the right information logged at the time of the incident.
If you have been involved in an accident which was someone else’s fault, you must get their registration, contact details and any other important information.
Any evidence will help visualise the scene and assist in the claim. Details, such as road conditions and lighting, can really help.
When putting together a claim for personal injuries or damage following on from a motorbike accident, it’s important to get expert help and advice. Our accident injury lawyers and solicitors can refer you to medical professionals who specialise in helping accident victims.
As the compensation claim forms are extremely complex, many people choose to make their claim for compensation through a motorbike accident lawyer. To help simplify the compensation claims process, we take care of the paperwork for you.
If the other party was at fault, you will be lodging a claim to their insurer. If you were partly at fault, it is likely the other party will be lodging a claim to your insurance company. Lodge your motorbike accident claim as soon as the form is accurately completed.
This is one of the most important things to do. After an accident, you may have a range of injuries that can manifest later on, even months after the accident occurred. Don’t assume that just because you are not in pain that you are uninjured. See your doctor for a full checkup as soon as you can.
If you are unsure about any of these steps or need advice on how to move forward, contact us. There is no charge to you to have our accident injury solicitors review your claim to quickly assess whether you would likely benefit from a motorbike accident compensation claim.
How Long Do I Have To Make A Motorbike Accident Compensation Claim?
In Queensland, time limits apply to motorbike accident compensation. For accidents that include personal injury, you only have three years in which to make a claim. If there has not been any personal injury but your motorbike has been damaged, you have six years in which to make a claim.
While these are lengthy time frames, starting your personal injury claim quickly ensures that witness statements and evidence are as fresh as possible.
Regardless of the compensation you are entitled to receive, your claim should be processed as swiftly as possible.
