Injuries from car accidents 

Your injuries can keep you from doing everyday activities and returning to work to earn an income - you may even need rehabilitation. It doesn’t matter if you were the driver or the passenger, you may be entitled to make a car accident compensation claim.

We can help, whether the injury has resulted in:

• whiplash injury

• neck injury

• back injury

• broken bones; or

• any other type of injury

What can I claim for after a car accident? 

Not every car accident is the same and more often than not, people can claim for different things depending on their situation. For the most part, it depends on things such as: 

• How severe your injuries are 

• How much you have lost and will lose in wages 

• What medical expenses you have as a result of the accident

• How much care you need 

• How much you have paid out of your own pocket 

Damage to your own car or the contents within it can usually be claimed through your own car insurance provider. It is possible that the insurer will agree to pay for some or all of the costs for your ongoing treatment as well, so that you are not out of pocket while waiting for the claim to be finalised.
