How do I know if I have a motor vehicle accident claim?
You may have a claim if you’ve been injured in a road accident as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist or pedestrian. Even if you’re unsure who was at fault, it’s worth getting advice. We can quickly assess your situation and let you know where you stand.
How much compensation can I get after a car accident?
It depends on your circumstances — including how seriously you’ve been injured, lost income (past and future), medical and treatment costs, rehabilitation needs, and the long-term impact on your life. Some benefits are available regardless of fault, while larger lump sum settlements are available for more serious injuries where someone else was at fault. After a quick chat, we can give you a realistic sense of what your claim may be worth.
What if the accident wasn’t my fault?
If you weren’t at fault, you may be entitled to a wider range of compensation — including lump sum damages for pain and suffering, future loss of earnings, and ongoing care needs. But even if the accident was partly your fault, or you’re not sure who was at fault, you may still be entitled to statutory benefits like weekly payments and treatment expenses. It’s always worth getting advice.
What does it cost to make a claim?
There’s no upfront cost to get advice, and if we take on your claim, we work on a No Win, No Fee basis — meaning you don’t pay our legal fees unless your claim is successful.
How long will my motor vehicle accident claim take?
Statutory benefits (weekly payments and medical expenses) can start within weeks of your claim being lodged. Lump sum damages claims usually take longer — typically 12 to 24 months, and sometimes more for serious or complex injuries. There are also strict time limits for lodging motor accident claims in NSW, so it’s important to get advice early. We’ll guide you through the timeline based on your circumstances.
