A significant claim was made for our client’s pain and suffering, given the extent of his injuries and the restrictions that they placed on his life. We were also able to obtain compensation for our client for his time out of work following the accident, and for his reduced earning capacity in the future. This component recognised that, although our client had returned to work full-time, in the future he would require further surgery and rehabilitation, which would require further time out of work.
As a result of Mr Vrege Kolokossian’s skills in advocacy and mediation, we were able to achieve a settlement of $550,000 for our client.
There are several steps you should take following a motor accident before worrying about liability. First and foremost is ensuring that you, the other driver and any passengers you both have are safe.

Move the vehicles off the shoulder if the accident is blocking the roadway and it’s possible to do so.

If you are hit by another driver and they are found at fault, you can make a claim against them for damages. This can include any losses resulting from the accident, including damage to your vehicle.
However, if your actions also played a part in the accident, both drivers may be found at fault. This is called ‘contributory negligence’, and may be apportioned between you and the other driver in any percentage split. In such a case, you may be responsible for bearing part of the cost of the damages.
Compensation can provide vital financial support for people who have suffered serious injuries in a road traffic accident. But are there limitations on how much money someone can receive?
The answer to this question depends on several factors, including:
Let’s break down some scenarios and explore what compensation amounts could be available.
The terms ‘plaintiff’ and ‘defendant’ are used in car accident compensation cases – and other civil law matters – to represent the individual pursuing the claim and the people or organisations being accused, respectively.
As a plaintiff, you may encounter another phrase: the Nominal Defendant. But what does this mean? And how could it affect your Australian Capital Territory motor vehicle accident damages?
