Our compensation lawyers are experienced across a bunch of other road claims.
Road claims aren’t just for car accidents. Cyclists and pedestrians face severe injury from accidents like dooring — where a driver opens their car door as a cyclist is approaching or from getting hit by cars, trucks, and even busses and trains.
Not only do these accidents have the potential to cause serious injuries, but they can also cause significant instances of PTSD or other psychological side effects. Our road accident lawyers can support you in the process of seeking compensation.
Remember, strict time limits apply, so it’s important to get in touch for your free initial consultation as soon as you can.

Have a Question?
Making a compensation claim can be pretty stressful. We know that often in legal cases, it’s the unknown that’s the scary part. Below are a few of our most frequently asked questions.
You can claim for a range of injuries sustained as a result of someone else’s negligence. Some of the most common include:
- Fractures
- Broken bones
- PTSD from the event
- Spinal & neck injuries
- Head & brain injuries
In case we have any non-cyclists reading, car dooring is where a driver or a passenger on the right hand side of the car opens their door up, into a bike lane or when a cyclist is riding past. Car dooring is an offence and cyclists are within their rights to claim compensation.
The driver or owner of the car is usually at fault for this and they’re able to make a claim through their insurance. If they do not oblige though, our lawyers can assist you in making a claim.
If you are in an accident caused by car dooring, we recommend reporting the incident to police immediately. This provides you with a little bit of extra protection in the case where you need to make a compensation claim.
The driver is almost always at fault in these scenarios. In Queensland law, drivers have a duty of care to pedestrians — this includes pedestrians who may be on their phones, intoxicated, or crossing the road illegally.
However, in some cases where it is found that the pedestrian showed some negligence, the sum of compensation may be reduced.
In extremely rare circumstances, the pedestrian can be found to be at fault. Given the level of responsibility the law places on drivers, this is quite rare.
Yes, you can. Electric scooters can cause accidents, particularly on busy footpaths across Brisbane.
The rider of the electric scooter can be held responsible for your injuries if their negligence or actions are the reason for the accident.
If you hired a Lime, Neuron or Beam scooter in Brisbane and crashed it, you may be eligible for compensation in rare circumstances.
If a fault of the scooter itself caused the accident, you may have some success claiming compensation.
Each case is different, so we can’t put a definitive timeframe on this. Factors like your injuries, their severity, and their healing time all play into the timeframe.
We need your injuries to heal completely before medical professionals can provide an official prognosis.
It’s also important we have all the evidence together. We only get one shot at these claims — so it’s important we get it right.
Most claims can be settled prior to court. Typically, we find these claims are settled through or following mediation Hiring a professional compensation lawyer will give you a better chance of avoiding going to court.
It depends on the case!
Every case is unique and needs to be accurately assessed after all the facts and evidence are collected. Your type of injury and the severity, your age, your employment, and any pre-existing medical conditions are each considered.
At our free initial consultation we’ll run through every aspect of your case and any circumstances at hand to offer you advice on your case.
