Reviewed by CompoCheck Editorial Team · Last updated

What is PIPA and how does it work in QLD public liability?
The Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (PIPA) governs the pre-litigation process for Queensland public liability claims. You serve a Notice of Claim on the defendant; the defendant has 1 month to respond admitting or denying liability. Both sides exchange medical and earnings evidence and attend a mandatory Compulsory Conference (a structured settlement negotiation). Most claims settle at or before this conference; only unresolved matters proceed to court.
How long do I have in Queensland?
Three years from the date of injury (or the date you knew or ought to have known of the injury). Children have until their 21st birthday. PIPA Notice of Claim must be served well before the limitation expires; aim for at least 6 months before to allow the pre-court process to run.
How are general damages calculated in QLD?
Queensland uses the Injury Scale Value (ISV) scale under the Civil Liability Regulation 2014 to assess general damages (pain and suffering). Each injury is given an ISV value (0 to 100), then multiplied by the published dollar amount for that range. Your matched lawyer will calculate your specific entitlement.
How much can I claim in Queensland public liability?
Most QLD public liability settlements range from $20,000 for minor cases to $300,000+ for serious injuries. The Civil Liability Act and PIPA framework includes thresholds and caps, but Queensland generally allows full recovery of past and future economic loss without a hard cap on the amount.
