Hit-And-Run Accident Claims In Queensland

Understand Your Options After An Accident

Being hit by a vehicle that doesn’t stop is frightening. On top of your injuries, you may be left without the details you’d normally rely on, & unsure whether you can claim at all.

A claim may still be possible. Whether you were driving, riding, walking or a passenger, we start with what you remember & what others saw, then identify the right pathway, even if the at-fault vehicle is never found.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Two Ways To Claim

If the at-fault vehicle is found later, the claim usually goes to its Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer. If it’s never found, a claim may be made to the Nominal Defendant, which steps in when a vehicle can’t be identified.

We will confirm which one applies to you & lodge the claim for you.

Showing Efforts To Trace The At-Fault Vehicle

If the vehicle isn’t found, you generally need to show that reasonable efforts were made to identify it. Reporting the crash to police & asking witnesses usually count.

You don’t have to do this alone. We will help gather the police report, witness accounts & any footage that supports your case.

Proving What Happened

With the person responsible gone, the evidence has to tell the story. Scene photos, your injuries & any vehicle damage can all show how the crash happened.

We will piece that evidence together to show who was at fault, so your side of the story is heard.

Act Early

Hit-and-run claims can have strict deadlines, & camera footage can be deleted within days. The sooner you get advice, the more options you keep.

Our Process

How We Handle Your Claim

01

Free Case Review

Tell us what you remember about the vehicle & the crash. A senior lawyer will review your case & contact you within 24 hours.

02

Claim Assessment

We assess what is known about the vehicle, the efforts made to identify it & whether the claim goes to the Nominal Defendant or the at-fault vehicle’s insurer.

03

Evidence & Negotiation

We gather evidence such as police reports, witness accounts & footage, then lodge the claim and negotiate on your behalf.

04

Resolution

We work to resolve your claim with the Nominal Defendant or insurer. If a settlement can’t be reached, we explain the available options & keep representing you where appropriate.

Key Things To Know About Hit-And-Run Claims

01

You Don’t Need To Know Who Hit You

You may still be able to claim, even if you never learn who hit you. If the at-fault vehicle can’t be identified, the Nominal Defendant usually takes the insurer’s place.

You may be worried a hit-and-run leaves you with nothing. We’ll help you see where you stand early, while evidence is still fresh.

02

A Police Report Matters

A police report creates an official record of what happened & when. It’s often one of the first things the Nominal Defendant or insurer checks.

If you haven’t reported the crash yet, or aren’t sure your report covers everything, we can help you work out what to do next.

03

Footage Disappears Fast

CCTV & dashcam footage can help identify the at-fault vehicle. Unfortunately, it’s often deleted or recorded over within days or weeks.

Cameras on nearby shops, homes & passing cars are easy to miss, especially while you’re recovering. We can help track down the footage & request it before it’s gone.

04

Time Limits Matter

Hit-and-run claims come with strict deadlines & requirements. Some deadlines begin on the day of the crash. Missing one can put a claim at risk, even when the injury is genuine.

We’ll help you understand what needs to happen & when, so time doesn’t work against you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you may still be able to claim, even if the driver is never found. If the vehicle can’t be identified, the claim may be made to the Nominal Defendant.

The Nominal Defendant is a Queensland government body that handles claims involving unidentified & uninsured vehicles. It steps in where there is no identifiable insurer to claim against.

Report it anyway. Part of a plate, along with the colour & make, may help police trace the vehicle. If it can’t be traced, a Nominal Defendant claim may still be possible.

Generally, yes. You need to show that reasonable efforts were made to identify the vehicle, such as reporting the crash to police & asking for witness details.

Yes, pedestrians & cyclists may be able to claim, even if the at-fault party fled.

Seek medical attention, report the accident to police & keep records of your symptoms, treatment & expenses. If you can, write down the vehicle’s colour, make & any part of its number plate, and get witness details. This information can help identify the vehicle & support a claim.

You can make a claim without a lawyer, but legal support is particularly useful where the at-fault vehicle cannot be identified, injuries are serious or the claim is disputed.
