Motor Vehicle Accidents

If you are in a motor vehicle accident, the first thing you should do is seek medical help if you or anyone else is injured.
In some instances, you may not even realise you have been injured until a few days later as conditions such as whip lash are often not felt straight away. A medical professional will be able to help you diagnose injuries and advise how they best be treated.

It is important that you advise your Doctor that your injuries were sustained as a result of a motor vehicle accident and that this is noted down in your medical notes. Once you have sought medical help and advice, contact AJB Stevens. We will be able to tell you whether you are eligible to make a compensation claim.

The compensation entitlements you can claim is dependant on your case. No two cases are the same. Once your AJB Stevens motor vehicle accident compensation expert has assessed your situation they will be able to advise all of the entitlements you can claim.
Generally, in most cases, you can claim for:

– Loss of income
– Hospital expenses
– Rehabilitation Costs
– Home Assistance
– Pain and Suffering
– Loss of Life Enjoyment

Strict time limits do apply to motor vehicle accidents compensation claims. While these time limits differ state to state it is advised to contact AJB Stevens as soon as possible. Claim lodgement dates can be time sensitive but with the help of a vehicle accident expert, you will ensure all lodgement deadlines are met.

When you work with AJB Stevens the compensation claim process could not be easier. Our top lawyers will assess your situation to ensure that you have a solid case. From here we will look further into the situation that caused your injuries, taking care to ensure we have all the information we need. Once all information is gathered we will work to seek compensation through negotiations either with insurance companies or persons at fault. If negotiations do not work then we will help you through the Court process.

This all depends on your case. Compensation claims can take anywhere from one to three years however this may take longer depending on:
– Your injuries and injuries of other parties that have not yet been equalised and maintained.
– Negotiation difficulties
– Delays in Court if your case reaches that point

Your appointed AJB Stevens lawyer will be able to give you an estimate of how long things will take to progress and for you to receive entitlements, always making sure you are updated with any changes.

At AJB Stevens, we understand that many Australians may not seek legal help for compensation cases as they believe the cost to be too much. This is why we always stand by our No Win No Fee claim. This means that if we don’t win your motor vehicle compensation case you don’t pay our legal fees.
This policy backs our claim that we believe every Australian deserves the right to legal representation when they need it most, regardless of financial situation.
