HOW CAN I CLAIM MOTOR ACCIDENT COMPENSATION?

Did you know that the NSW motor accidents compensation scheme covers anyone that is injured from an accident? This includes the drivers, riders, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and pillion passengers, regardless of whether or not they were at fault. The only people who cannot make a claim are those who have been charged with a serious driving offence related to the accident or who was the at-fault driver knowingly driving an uninsured vehicle.

If you were recently involved in a motor accident, make sure you get the details of the other vehicle/s and report the incident to the police as soon as possible. You should then organize a meeting with a motor accident lawyer to determine whether you are able to make a claim.

WHEN DO I LODGE A MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIM?

You must lodge your claim within three months of the accident or within 28 days if you wish to be compensated for lost earnings. At Bale Boshev Lawyers, we offer a free initial case assessment and consultation, where we will review the events and provide you with honest legal advice. 

If the evidence suggests a strong case, we can then help you make a claim against the compulsory third party (CTP) insurer of the other vehicle. Your lawyer will also assist you in requesting approval for some early treatment which can include one GP visit and two treatment visits.

WHAT COMPENSATION IS AVAILABLE?

Your Newcastle lawyer will assist you in gathering the relevant evidence needed to prove that you were not at fault. You can then claim up to 6 months’ worth of benefits which should cover your medical expenses, lost earnings and any other required care as part of your recovery.

You will need to supply medical reports to justify the extent of your compensation. For significant injuries, you may be able to claim benefits beyond six months after the date of the accident. You are unable to claim compensation for the cost of damages to your vehicle or property.
