Motor Accident Injury Lawyers

Motor vehicle accidents can happen without warning, and through no fault of your own. If you’ve been injured in an accident, it makes sense to understand what compensation is available to you and how to make sure you get your full entitlements. Lisa’s story is a typical example from the many thousands of successful road accident injury claims we’ve made.

Lisa was sitting at a set of traffic lights on her way home from the gym when the car behind her failed to stop and slammed into the back of her car. Because it was travelling at considerable speed it left Lisa with serious neck and back injuries. Lisa initially managed to claim some compensation herself through the insurer, but when the insurer stopped payments for ongoing treatment she turned to Law Partners.

Getting to know Lisa and her family

Before the accident, Lisa was fulfilling her dream to start a new career in graphic design, having recently completed three years of part-time study. She was optimistic and excited for the future. But as we got to know her better, we could see that the accident had severely impacted Lisa’s life. She went from being an active mum who enjoyed training at the gym and cycling to someone who suffered severe pain within minutes of trying to do anything active. Lisa had to decline her design agency job offer and was suffering from anxiety and depression.

Lisa’s successful claim

We established through comprehensive medical reports that Lisa was still in need of treatment and support, and we successfully claimed past and future treatment expenses and lost income for Lisa. We also discovered that Lisa had always taken great pride in doing her own renovations and home maintenance, but now she needed a lot of outside help even with the most basic housework. So we claimed compensation for domestic assistance. Lisa’s recovery is ongoing, but the financial burden has been lifted from her shoulders, so she can focus on her rehabilitation and getting her life back on track.

How can I claim motor vehicle accident compensation?

Compensation is available to drivers, passengers and pedestrians who’ve been injured in accidents involving:

This is why the CTP insurance scheme was established – all vehicles have CTP policies to make sure all drivers are covered for injuries they cause in accidents where they are at fault. It’s possible to lodge your own compensation claim directly with the insurer, however your claim may be denied by the insurer, and the amount of compensation you receive may depend on the quality of your supporting evidence. Also, depending on the circumstances of your road traffic accident, you may be able to lodge additional claims such as workers compensation or a TPD lump sum claim. A specialist motor vehicle accident injury lawyer can make sure you get your full entitlements.

What can I claim for?

You can claim compensation for lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses, domestic assistance, pain and suffering and future losses.

How do I make sure I get my full entitlements?

There’s one factor that will ultimately determine how much compensation you receive – and that’s how well your lawyer gets to know you personally. At first glance, the consequences of your injuries might seem obvious. But our lawyers will take the time to find out more about you, your family and what your life was like before your accident, to really understand the impact it’s had on your life and successfully claim all the compensation you’re entitled to.
