COMPENSATION FOR INJURY SUFFERED FROM MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

Have you been injured in a motor vehicle accident which was a result of another driver’s negligence?  If so, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation. “Motor Vehicle” is the umbrella term not only for car accidents, but also for accidents caused by motorcycles, buses, trucks, trains, boats, or airplanes to other drivers, to passengers, or to pedestrians.  It is compulsory in Australia for all vehicles to be registered and have Green Slips, which assure third party insurance.  This Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance will pay for the damages of the negligent driver.

CAN I MAKE A CLAIM?

You are able claim compensation for injury arising from a motor vehicle accident if you can prove that the fault lay with another driver.  You may also be entitled to some compensation if you are only partially at fault.  If, however, no party was at fault, or the fault was your own, you will not be eligible for compensation.
