Motor Accident

"Motor Vehicle Accident" refers not only to car accidents, but also to accidents involving motorcycles, buses, trucks, trains, boats, or airplanes where injury to an individual occurs.

If you have been injured in a car crash or any form of motor vehicle accident that was a result of another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to personal injury compensation.

The law in Australia

In NSW, the Motor Accident Compensation Act 1999 exists to protect you from the medical or legal financial burden that often follows these types of accidents. In Queensland, you are similarly protected under Acts of different names: the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 in combination with the Civil Liability Act 2002 (CLA).

Australian law ensures that if you were not at fault in a car accident, you may receive compensation for the physical or psychological pain that you have suffered.

For example, if you are in your car and you slow down for a red light but the car behind you does not slow down and crashes into you, you have a strong claim for compensation.





So long as you are acting within the law, the law is there to protect you and to compensate you for injuries suffered as the result of such accidents.

Injuries sustained in a car accident, motorbike accident, as a pedestrian, or in any other form of motor vehicle accident can be painful and traumatic. Adding to the burden is the fact that insurance companies make claiming compensation difficult and very time consuming.
