Motor Vehicle Accident

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

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

Motor Vehicle Accident Law

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

If you are found to be not at fault in a car accident, Australian law ensures you can receive compensation for any physical or psychological pain that you have suffered. If, for example, if you are in your car and you slow down for a red light but the car behind you does not and crashes into you, you have a strong claim for compensation.



If you act within the law, it is there to protect and compensate you for injuries suffered as the result of such accidents.

Any 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 often make claiming compensation difficult and very time consuming.
