Am I Eligible to Make a Car Accident Claim?

If the other party was at fault or you were partly at fault, you may be able to submit a car accident claim. Don’t know where to start? Our team will guide you through the process and determine your eligibility.

Our experienced car accident lawyers have helped clients get compensation for injuries such as:

  • Whiplash or neck injuries

  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Psychological injuries, including nervous shock or PTSD

What Compensation Can I Claim for a Car Accident?

The amount of compensation you can claim will depend on the extent of your injuries, where the car accident occurred and its financial impact. Navigating through these processes can be tricky but our team of experienced car accident lawyers will simplify the whole process.

You may be able to claim for:

  • Medical expenses, including surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments
  • Loss of income during your recovery period
  • Pain and suffering, including psychological distress caused by the accident
  • Costs for repairing or replacing your damaged vehicle
  • Ongoing care or support services, such as in-home assistance
  • Legal costs related to your claim

Your Rights and Entitlements for
a Car Accident Claim

Under Australian motor vehicle accident law, your entitlements will depend on the degree of your fault, the extent of your injuries, where the accident occurred, and whether the injuries meet the legal thresholds for compensation. You may also be eligible for certain benefits under the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme.

If you were at fault, you can claim personal injury compensation for up to 12 months. If you were not at fault, your benefits may last for 24 months or more, and you may also be eligible for a lump sum.

Also, the specifics of your injuries play a big part. The law defines a “threshold,” which measures your ability to fully recover from your injuries with appropriate treatment and get back to your normal life, work and activities on time.

Car accident entitlements:

1. Up to the injury “threshold”

Income support, medical and home care expenses for up to 12 months

2. Above the injury “threshold”

  • Income support, medical and home care expenses that can extend beyond 24 months if there is a claim for damages.
  • A lump sum for past and future lost income

3. Above the injury “threshold” plus over 10% permanent impairment

An additional lump sum for pain and suffering

Key Legal Note: Your entitlements are governed by state laws, and legal thresholds and time limits may apply. Our team ensures your claim complies with all legal requirements.

The motor vehicle compensation experts at Wyatts can help ensure the full extent of your injuries is considered and work with you to prepare your claim to ensure you get everything you are entitled to.
