Car Accident Lawyers
If you have become injured in a motor accident due to another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Car Accident Injury Claims
Through a motor vehicle accident claim, you can receive compensation for financial losses, including coverage for lost income, medical bills and the costs of ongoing care.
You may also be entitled to compensation for psychological damages, a payout that recognises the emotional trauma caused by the negligence, including anxiety, depression and general loss of enjoyment in life.

Car Accident Claims Process
The context in which the accident took place will largely determine the specific process of your case, and your personal injury lawyer will help you to navigate the claims system and build a strong case. In general, there are a handful of factors to be aware of during the process:
-
Time limits:
In order to pursue a motor vehicle accident claim, you must complete a motor vehicle accident personal injury claim form, including the medical certificate from your treating doctor and the police event number, and submit it to the proper CTP green slip insurer within three months of the accident. Failure to do so may prevent you from proceeding with your personal injury claim, unless you can provide a full and satisfactory explanation for the delay.
Furthermore, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is three years from the date of the accident. This means that you must file your claim in court before or on the last day of the limitation period, or you may be prevented from having your case heard.
-
The role of insurance agencies:
Your lawyer will negotiate with the liable party’s insurance agency on your behalf, with various factors coming into play. These include your own insurance coverage policy, the coverage policy of the at-fault party and any additional policies that may apply to the accident. -
Mediation vs Litigation:
If the matter cannot be settled privately, the claim may then proceed to court. The court process will involve presenting evidence, witnesses, and arguments to support your compensation claim. Both parties will have the opportunity to present their case, and a judge or jury will ultimately determine the outcome.
