What is economic loss?
If your injuries mean you can’t work, the Qld CTP Scheme is designed to compensate you for this. The amount of compensation you receive is influenced by your earnings, medical opinion of your injuries from the car accident and the legislation.
If you're employed at the time of accident:
- We will obtain copies of pay slips showing leave taken.
- We will talk with your employer and confirm how much leave has been taken.
- We will discuss with you how your injuries may impact your work or your capacity to work in the future.
If you are self-employed:
- We will talk with you about the opportunities that you may have missed or may miss in the future as a result of the injuries from your accident.
- Will further look into your tax and business documents including profit loss statements, notices of assessment and business activity statements to determine any injury related losses within your business.
If you are not employed:
- We will look at your work history, the reasons why you were not working and talk with you about when you most likely would have earned income if the accident had never happened.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on 13 11 60.
