How do you structure your fees?

We were among the first Queensland law firms to offer ‘No Win, No Fee’ services. Put simply, you pay nothing until we win your settlement through negotiation with the ‘at fault’ party or, as in most cases, their insurer. Learn more about our fees here.

What experience do you have with cases like mine?

To answer this question, we’ll need to learn more about your case or claim. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us more about your case, and we can tell you about similar cases and the outcomes we achieved. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer.

Can you provide references from other clients?

Yes, of course. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us what you’d like to know and the type of client you’d like to hear from, and we’ll gladly provide a reference from them. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer. Or, you can take a look at the “happy clients” on our website.

Do I have to pay for an initial consultation?

No! We will never charge you for your initial consultation. In fact, you pay nothing until you win your case. Our fees come directly from your end result, which means you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

How Truck Accident Injury Compensation Claims Work

Queensland’s trucking accident compensation process is guided by the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 and its Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme. These can often feel confusing, technical, and time-consuming on your own, but especially so if you’ve been injured from a truck accident and face time-sensitive claims filing rules.

It’s often in your best interest to consult with a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. These legal experts will put together your strongest possible case, plus provide direct counsel, insights, and representation across all stages of the claims compensation entitlement process.

Working with a truck accident Lawyer and law firm ensures your best outcomes across the complete truck accident compensation process:

Seek immediate medical attention, then receive an initial truck accident lawyer consultation. Securing a truck accident lawyer in the immediate aftermath of your accident means you can focus on your health and recovery while your lawyer assembles all essential materials supporting your claim.
Report the incident to authorities.
Gather crucial accident evidence. Your truck accident lawyer will collect materials such as photos of the scene, witness testimonials and contact details, vehicle registration info, and all other drivers’ license and insurance information.
Track loss of income and medical expenses. Keep records of all accident-related medical bills, including for rehabilitation expenses and at-home or ongoing medical care as well as any loss of income due to injuries.
Notify insurers. Your Lawyer will handle notifying the CTP insurer of the at-fault vehicle(s). It’s crucial to receive expert guidance at this stage of your compensation claim, as there are time limits and technicalities.
Submit all claims forms. Your truck accident lawyer also completes and lodges the Notice of Accident Claim Form with the insurer. If the at-fault party is unidentified or uninsured, your lawyer will explore a claim through Queensland’s Nominal Defendant scheme.
Allow your lawyer to handle any further claims negotiations and reach a final settlement.
Proceed with litigation, if necessary. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer may recommend pursuing your accident claim in court. Do note though this step is typically a last resort used only after exhausting negotiation options.

At Trilby Misso, we have an exemplary record of settling 99% of our client’s vehicle motor accident claims without any court involvement. We are here for you.

What If I’m Injured in a Truck Accident During Work?

If you’re injured in a truck accident during work hours, you may be entitled to multiple types of compensation, all depending on the circumstances.

Understanding your rights if you have an accident at work is crucial for maximising all available entitlements.

Do I have a truck accident claim?

Common Truck Accident Lawyer & Injury Claims FAQs

What are the qualifications to make a truck injury claim in Queensland?

The most important variables in setting up a successful compensation claim is timing, followed by determining who’s appropriately at-fault.

In a truck accident injury case, a lawyer will help determine exactly how the accident occurred, including investigating speeding, road distractions and conditions, truck malfunctions or maintenance malpractice, if at-fault drivers were fatigued or negligent, commercial truck driver worker right’s abuses, and any driving under the influence potentiality. All of these determine how your claim is set up and evidenced.

Is there a time limit to filing my trucking accident claim?

Legally, you must notify insurers within one month of first contacting a compensation lawyer or within nine months of the accident, whichever comes first. There are also additional deadlines for claims and compensation paperwork a lawyer will help you navigate. The sooner your claim application is filed, the better.

Who pays for my truck accident damages in my claim?

A truck accident claim is paid for by insurance policies of the at-fault driver(s). This model is mandated by Queensland’s compulsory third-party (CTP) insurance scheme, which is built into every road user’s existing insurance and vehicle registration.

If the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance for their truck, or if you’ve experienced a truck hit and run, your lawyer will pursue compensation through Queensland’s Nominal Defendant scheme.

How long does a compensation claim take after my truck accident?

Straightforward truck accident claims typically settle within 6–12 months, especially when fault and damages are clear.

However, more complex cases involving truck hit and runs, disputed liability, or severe injuries can take 18 months or longer. Your legal team will guide you on realistic timeframes based on your claim’s specifics, as there can be variability.

What do I need to make a successful truck accident compensation claim?

To succeed in a truck accident claim, you’ll at a minimum need detailed evidence, including police reports, medical records, and proof of financial losses incurred like medical bills and/or lost wages. It’s also crucial to notify the relevant CTP insurer promptly and meet all statutory deadlines.

Again, engaging a lawyer helps guarantee all that documentation is accurate and thorough and that you meet strict timing deadlines. All of which strengthens your case for maximum compensation.
