MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT INJURY CLAIMS
If you had a car accident that was not your fault, you need to seek advice from our motor vehicle accident injury compensation lawyers.
The MVA ACCIDENTS/CTP scheme has CHANGED and the types of compensation and how to claim, will depend on when your accident took place, ie BEFORE or AFTER 1 December 2017.
We do not charge our legal fees until your claim is successful.
At the conclusion of the claim, the insurer is likely to pay the majority of the costs and disbursements (or all of them in some cases).
Car accident compensation scheme covers injured people, even if the car at fault was unregistered or could not be located after a 'hit and run' motor vehicle accident.
There is a time-frame to lodge car accident injury claims and you need to act fast. If the claim is accepted, the Insurer will pay or reimburse you for your medical treatment.
If MVA happened on or after 1 December 2017, you could claim weekly payments, medical treatment expenses, funeral expenses, compensation (financial support) for relatives and in some cases common law damages. Claims for damages must be made within 3 years of the date of the MVA. If your injuries are 10% or less ‘whole person impairment’, you must make your claim between 20 months and 3 years after the MVA. If your injuries are more than 10% ‘whole person impairment, you can make the claim any time.
