How Our Brisbane Car Accident Injury Lawyers May Be Able to Help You Claim Compensation
While car-on-car collisions are common motor vehicle accidents, they aren’t the only types of incidents you may be able to claim compensation for if you’re involved in one. Some of the types of accidents you may be able to claim compensation for include if:
- You are the driver of a car, motorbike or other road vehicle, and have been hit by another vehicle.
- You are the passenger in a car or pillion rider on a motorbike (regardless if the driver of your vehicle is at fault).
- You are a pedestrian and are hit by a vehicle.
- You have been involved in a hit and run, and don’t have the details of the vehicle at fault.
- The details of the other vehicle are unknown or unidentifiable.
- You have been injured riding a mountain bike, road bike, e-bike or e-scooter.
There are also different types of motor vehicle incident claims including insurance claims, Workers’ Compensation claims and nominal defendant claims if the other driver is unidentifiable or uninsured in Queensland.
