Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make a property damage claim if the at-fault driver broke road rules?

Yes, road rule violations like illegal lane changes or failing to yield can establish fault in an accident and strengthen your property damage claim.

What role does CTP insurance play in property damage claims?

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance in Queensland primarily covers personal injury but does not extend to property damage.
