Why would you need this service?
Road traffic accidents in Australia each year kill over 1,000 people injuring many thousands more and cost the community an estimated $27 billion in financial loss.
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident you may have entitlements to compensation to financially compensate you for your pain, suffering and financial loss as a consequence of such an accident.
Even if the accident is your fault you may still have an entitlement for assistance with your medical bills and financial loss.
Even where personal injury is not involved a motor accident may involve financial loss or liability for damage to your car or other vehicles or property.
The law in this area can be complicated and important time limits apply. This is an area where expert legal help is needed.
