Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Highway Crashes

The Bruce Highway topped RACQ’s 2024 Unroadworthy Roads Survey,1 & around Townsville it & the Flinders Highway carry heavy vehicles & long-distance traffic. Crashes on these routes can involve several vehicles & insurers.

We’ll identify the operators & insurers involved & handle communication with them.

Defence Workers & Contractors

If you work on a Defence base or for a Defence contractor, different Commonwealth or Queensland schemes may apply, depending on who employs you.2

We’ll confirm which scheme applies before you lodge anything.

Injuries At Work

On building sites, in hospitals & in aged care, an injury may lead to a WorkCover claim &, where someone else was at fault, a separate common law claim.

We’ll explain which claims may apply before you accept any WorkCover offer.

Boating & Water Activities

Boat, jet ski & ferry injuries are generally handled outside the CTP system, so the claim may depend on who operated the vessel, what happened & what insurance applies.

We’ll help identify the operator, insurer & evidence, then explain the claim pathway.

Key Things To Know About Townsville Injury Claims

01

Different Claims, Different Rules

A crash on the Bruce Highway, an injury on a building site & a fall on a council footpath are usually handled under different schemes, with different insurers & steps.

You don’t need to work out which applies yourself. We’ll confirm the relevant claim pathway before you take the next step.

02

Report The Injury Promptly

Depending on how you were hurt, report the incident to the police, your employer or the person responsible for the premises, & see a doctor. Early records can help support your claim.

We’ll explain what to report & help you keep a clear record from the start.

03

Evidence Can Be Hard To Get Later

Photos, witness details, dashcam footage & incident reports may become harder to obtain as time passes, particularly after a crash on a remote stretch of highway, where access to witnesses, photographs & other records may be more difficult.

We’ll help identify what evidence matters to your claim & how it can be preserved.

04

Time Limits Matter

Personal injury claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.
