Accident Injury Rights Confuse Australians with the Different Legislation

If you have been injured in a car accident or road accident you may be entitled to motor accident compensation (a road accident claim).

Some serious injuries can take a long time to recover. The anticipated current and future losses and expenses ought to be awarded to you in the form of accident injury compensation.

Insurance claims and accident injury compensation are not as black and white as you think. All factors surrounding the accident need to be taken into consideration.

Accident injury lawyers (or vehicle injury lawyer) will assess your eligibility for motor accident compensation. A vehicle injury lawyer will also advise you of the benefits available.

After assessing your case, an accident injury lawyer will advise you of your legal options. One of these options may be to engage a vehicle injury lawyer, in order to maximise benefits available to you.

A vehicle injury lawyer may act on a ‘no win no fee’ basis. This means you will not have to worry about any up-front or ongoing costs. No win no fee means costs relating to the running of your claim are covered by the vehicle injury lawyer concerned.

No win no fee also means legal fees and costs are only payable at the end, and only when you have received your accident injury compensation. No win no fee means legal fees are only payable if your claim is successful.

Do be cautious when choosing a no win no fee accident injury lawyer. Some no win no fee arrangements are a little misleading. Be sure to find out exactly what no win no fee means in ‘their terms’. An independent organisation such as the Australian Injury Helpline can be a good place to start when searching for a vehicle injury lawyer.

Claiming motor accident compensation may be your legal right. It is important to be aware of your legal rights to a road accident claim following an injury.

If your injury is severe or has resulted in the death of a loved one you will be compensated by the insurance company of the party who was at fault.

Accident injury benefits may include:

  • Loss of income
  • Hospital expenses
  • Medical expenses
  • Cost of medical or disability equipment
  • Costs involved with rehabilitation
  • Reasonable travel expenses
  • Nursing or home help costs
  • Funeral costs (if applicable)
  • A lump sum payment for pain and suffering

An accident injury lawyer may make a big difference to the outcome of your road accident claim. A road accident can cause a great deal of stress and pain you and your family.

Ensure you gain access to the right information from an independent organisation such as an accident injury helpline.
