How To Make a CTP Claim After a Car Accident in QLD?
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in Queensland (QLD), you may be entitled to claim compensation through Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (Qld). The QLD CTP scheme is fault-based, meaning that, to recover compensation, you must establish negligence on the part of the at-fault driver. A Notice of Accident Claim Form must be lodged within 9 months of the date of the accident, or within 1 month of the date on which you first consulted a lawyer about a possible claim — whichever occurs first. Court proceedings must be commenced within 3 years of the date of the accident.
