Motor Accident Claims

Do I have a claim for motor vehicle compensation in NSW?

If you’re injured in a car, truck, motorbike, bicycle or any other type of vehicle, then you may have a claim for compensation following an accident on the NSW roads.
Car accident injuries can require extensive rehabilitation and the impacts can affect every aspect of your life. Sometimes a compensation claim is the only way to get enough money so that you can move on and get back on track.
Car accident claims can be quite complex, but generally, if the other driver is at fault for the accident then you might be able to claim for your injuries. In some instances even if the accident was your fault, then there may be avenues to compensation as well under NSW law.

We can quickly establish if you have a claim for compensation.
The Principal will be solely responsible for your claim.

Who pays the motor vehicle compensation in NSW?

In most cases, it’s the insurance company of the driver who caused that accident that pays compensation under NSW law, not the driver themselves. The driver won’t pay out of their own pocket so they won’t have to find lawyers to help them.
We are more than happy to go through this with you in person or over the phone at a time of your convenience if it’s something you are concerned about.

What are the requirements for a motor vehicle claim in NSW?

If you’ve been injured in a car accident or any other type of vehicle, you may be able to claim compensation under NSW law.
