Car accident/Injury Compensation

A car accident injury can be serious and even fatal. A motor vehicle claim could cover a myriad of scenarios on the road, such as:

• Car accident;
• Motorcycle accidents;
• Bicycle accident;
• Speeding fatality;
• Pedestrian accidents;
• Accidents involving heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses; and
• Motor vehicle accidents such as one car colliding with another.

In the event of an accident, try to stay calm and attempt to keep off the road. Emergency services and police should be notified immediately if anyone has been injured or killed or if there is damage to property or livestock.

It is important to collect as much information as possible from the accident. At Beilby Poulden Costello, our team of expert compensation lawyers will:

• help you gather necessary evidence such as names, registration numbers and insurance details of the vehicles involved, as well as receipts for hospital care, medical treatment and medication;
• explain police reports relating to your accident;
• contact the relevant insurance companies; and ensure you obtain the compensation you deserve to ease your pain and suffering.Compensation may be available to cover you for pain and suffering, past and future wage loss, past and future medical costs, domestic and care needs.

Even if you cannot identify the person responsible for your injury, you may still be able to apply for compensation under car accident law. You should not admit any liability for the accident, or blame yourself before consulting us.
