Motor vehicle lawyers are professionals who can give you the right advice, in case you have suffered an accident in or from a vehicle. You are entitled to claim compensation for the physical and mental trauma suffered, particularly when the accident was not your fault, or you were only partly responsible. Australian law varies quite a bit between territories and states, and hence you need to be sure about your legal rights, before you make a claim. Consulting a lawyer or a legal firm proficient in handling motor vehicle accident claims would be ideal in such circumstances.

Why Hire Motor Vehicle Lawyers?

Compensation can be claimed when you have been physically injured or lost a family member, in a vehicle accident. You could be the injured driver, passenger, or even a pedestrian in the accident. The motor vehicles involved could be cars, motorcycles, taxis, trams, buses, and trains. A lawyer will review the account of the incident, and help determine who was at fault, or the degree to which the third party could be responsible. This can give you a good idea if a claim is possible under the circumstances. Most of the compensation awarded in Australia is based on fault evaluation. According to the level of fault of either party, the lawyer can advise if a claim is possible, and the amount of compensation you may expect. This can put things in perspective, and you can confidently pursue the next course of action.

The role of the lawyer is not limited to advice, but he or she will be actively involved in getting your claim. There is a time limit and certain procedure for filing the claim with the concerned authorities. If you exceed the time limit or do not follow the formalities, you will not be able to file your claim. The vehicle lawyer has full knowledge of the procedural requirements and time limits, and hence you claim will be lodged.

The claim you make can be for compensation for a variety of things. The area in which the accident occurred does play a part, but you could be claiming for

• Medical expenses


• Hospital charges


• Physiotherapy


• Dental expenses


• Counseling


• A lump sum amount for permanent disability


• Compensation for suffering and pain


• Loss of income


• Domestic assistance during recovery


• Funeral expenses and death benefits for deceased family members in the accident
