Time limits to claim

It is a good idea to start your claim as soon as possible as the longer you take to start your claim, the harder it is to gather the information and evidence required to prove your claim.

How are oil on road accident claims different?
Did you know that in Queensland where you have been injured in a road accident because a vehicle has left hazardous materials or substances on the roadway such as fuel or oil, you will most likely have a claim against the Nominal Defendant.
The Nominal Defendant is a Government insurer established through the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994.
Over the years we have helped many people make successful claims where accidents have been caused by vehicles leaving hazardous materials or substances on the roadway.
If you have been injured in any way because of hazardous materials or substances that have been left on the roadway contact us now on freecall 1800 777 099.
Please note that strict time limits may apply to these claims so you need to act quickly.
No Win No Fee
At ILQ we understand that not everyone is in a position to pay a lawyer for upfront advice. That is why at ILQ there are no upfront legal costs or outlays.
Our ILQ No Win No Fee scheme is available for all motor vehicle accident claims. This means you do not pay for legal fees or outlays unless your case is successful.
In most instances, people who have been involved in a motor vehicle accident are suffering financially due to not being able to work or working on a reduced hours basis because of the adverse effects of their injuries.
This is why we conduct all of our personal injury claims on a No Win No Fee basis.
In many cases, a significant proportion of your legal fees and outlays can be recovered from the insurance company.
Why use a Lawyer?
If you have been a driver, rider or a passenger that has been involved in an oil on road accident that is not your fault, or only partly your fault, you have a right to claim compensation in Queensland.
Because it is in the insurance company’s interests to try and limit the amount of compensation you can recover, they will not advise you what you can claim and what your claim is really worth.
Insurance companies have their own team of lawyers who do everything they can to try and reduce the amount of your claim.
Without legal representation you will be at a big disadvantage when dealing with the insurance companies and their lawyers.
If you are involved in an oil on road accident in Queensland, it is critical that you obtain advice from a lawyer who is very experienced in oil on road accident claims to ensure that you are aware of all the benefits available to you.
As ILQ are very experienced in all kinds of oil on road accident claims, we make sure that you recover everything that you are entitled to at law.
And because ILQ operates on a No Win No Fee basis, you don’t need to pay any legal costs or outlays until your claim is successfully finalised.
In many cases, a significant proportion of your legal fees and outlays can be recovered from the insurance company.
What if my oil on road accident occurred while I was working or on my way to or from work?
If you were injured while you were working or on your way to or from work you still have the same rights to make a personal injury claim against the CTP insurer of the vehicle at fault. You also have the right to make a claim on WorkCover Queensland or your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer to pay for your medical treatment and your weekly wage while you are away from work.
