When Do You Need Car Accident Lawyers?

Self managing a compensation claim can be a long and complex process, especially if you’re trying to recover from an injury at the same time. Instead, hiring an accident lawyer can ease the stress of your situation. An accident lawyer can offer you legal advice, help you to build a strong case, and even win your compensation claim in court. If you are still in doubt whether you need a lawyer, there are a few factors you should consider.

 

Injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident

If your injuries from a motor vehicle accident are minor and don’t require medical attention, hiring a lawyer may not be necessary. However, if your injuries result in loss of income, long-term disability, or require ongoing medical care, it’s a good idea to consult with an accident lawyer or a Total Permanent Disability (TPD) lawyer. These professionals can help you determine the appropriate compensation for your situation, and guide you through the claims process.

Insurance and Motor Vehicle Accidents

Dealing with insurance claims after an accident can be challenging. Some insurance companies may attempt to minimise your payout, offering far less than you deserve. While this may seem like an unfair practice, it is unfortunately more common than you might think. Experienced road accident lawyers can help you navigate the claims process and fight for the compensation you are entitled to. If the insurance company refuses to settle fairly, your lawyer can represent you in court to pursue a just outcome.

 

Work-Related Car Accidents

If your car accident occurred during work, you may need a workers’ compensation lawyer as well as a motor vehicle lawyer. They can help you navigate the process and ensure you receive compensation from your employer’s insurance.

How to find the right lawyer after a car accident

Following a car accident, you may be dealing with both physical and emotional pain. While there are many car accident lawyers in Sydney, it is important to choose a firm that genuinely cares about your wellbeing and recovery, not just their fees.That’s why at Goodman Spring, we operate on a no win, no fee basis. Our compensation lawyers are committed to achieving justice for clients so you will only be charged if your injury claim is successful.

Steps to take after a car accident

The moments directly following an accident can be overwhelming, and you may not be thinking clearly due to shock or injury. However, taking a moment to follow these steps may help you and your compensation claim in the long run.

1

Seek Medical Attention

If you are seriously injured, call the ambulance to the scene immediately. Make sure to also visit a doctor for after accident care and advise them of your injuries.

2

Record Important Details

Note the at-fault driver's personal details, registration, and insurance information, along with any witnesses' contact details.

3

Report to the Police

File an official report and make a note of the event number.

4

Notify the Insurance Provider

Report the accident to the at-fault driver's Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance provider. This must be done within 28 days in New South Wales.

5

Keep Detailed Records

Maintain a diary with all receipts, documents, and medical records related to the accident.
 

How long do compensation claims take?

Motor vehicle or car accident claims take roughly 14-18 months to successfully resolve; we aim to do this without taking your matter to court to reduce your legal fees. Insurance companies should be notified within 28 days of the accident. You will have three years to make your common law claim in New South Wales.
