Motor Vehicle Accident Claims

Motor Vehicle Accident Claims

If you were hurt in a car accident, you might be able to file a claim for compensation.

Do I need a compensation lawyer?

If your car accident injuries resulted in loss of income, permanent impairment, disability or a need for medical treatment – you may be entitled to claim compensation. You should speak to a personal injury lawyer who will help you understand your rights and lodge a car accident compensation claim on your behalf.

Lawpoint can help you navigate the complex process of making a motor vehicle compensation claim and handle the compensation process for you. Your job will be to focus on recovering from your injuries.

How much can I receive in a successful car accident claim?

Car accident claims vary depending on the severity of your injury and your personal circumstances.

The amount of car accident compensation you can win depends on your injury classification – either ‘minor’ or ‘non-minor’.

An example of a minor injury is a muscle injury (sometimes known as a soft tissue injury), such as a sore back or neck.

An example of a non-minor injury includes a broken bone, a head injury or injuries that require surgery. A psychiatric injury can also be classified as non-minor if it results in a recognised psychiatric disorder.

Depending on the classification of the injury, you may be able to claim car accident compensation for income support and medical expenses for up to 6 months. In more serious cases, this can be awarded long periods of time based on a claim for damages and lump sum compensation for past and future economic loss. If you have a degree of permanent impairment exceeding 10%, you may also be entitled to lump sum compensation for pain and suffering.

Strict time limits apply to motor vehicle accident claims

Strict time limits do apply to motor vehicle accident claims in NSW.

For example, your accident notification claim must be submitted to the insurer within 28 days of the accident. If this is done, you may be eligible to receive up to $5,000 in compensation for losses incurred in the first six months after the date of the accident.

A personal injury claim for motor vehicle compensation must be lodged with the insurer within 6 months of the date of accident. These claims are usually for non-minor injuries where it is expected that your recovery time will exceed six months or where it is expected that you may have permanent impairment as a result of your injuries.

Time limits can be extended, but only in exceptional circumstances and you should never assume that a time limit will be extended.

It is therefore very important to contact a motor vehicle accident lawyer as soon as possible after your injury so that a claim can be lodged on your behalf in time.
