Injured in a Motorbike Accident? How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help

Riders have far less physical protection than people travelling in cars, which means an accident can result in significant injuries, time away from work and ongoing medical treatment.

At Morgan Clifford Legal Services in Milton, our personal injury lawyers can help you understand your rights and guide you through the compensation process following a motorbike accident.

Can I Make a CTP Claim After a Motorbike Accident?

If you have been injured in a motorbike accident in Queensland that was caused wholly or partly by another driver, you may be eligible to make a Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance claim against the CTP insurer of the vehicle responsible for the accident.

Even if you were partly at fault, you may still be able to make a claim, although your compensation may be reduced.

Depending on your circumstances and injuries, a CTP claim may include compensation relating to:

• medical and rehabilitation expenses
• loss of income and future earning capacity
• the impact of your injuries on your everyday life
• pain and suffering.

Every motorbike accident is different, which is why obtaining advice about your individual circumstances can be important.

How Can Morgan Clifford Legal Services Help?

Dealing with insurers and paperwork can be difficult when your priority should be recovering from your injuries.

Our personal injury lawyers can assist by assessing the circumstances of your accident, explaining whether you may have a claim and helping you prepare and lodge the necessary documentation.

We can also communicate with the CTP insurer on your behalf, gather medical and other evidence to support your claim and help ensure the full impact of your injuries is considered when your claim is assessed.

Importantly, there are strict time limits for CTP claims in Queensland. In most cases, a Notice of Accident Claim Form must be lodged within nine months of the accident (or when symptoms first appear), or within one month of your first meeting with a lawyer if you engage one to handle your claim.

Shorter time limits can apply when the at-fault vehicle cannot be identified.
