Car Accidents (Driver Or Passenger)

Car accidents

By far the most common car accident compensation claims handled by our team of expert car accident compensation lawyers at Taylor & Scott, involve motor vehicles that have come into collision. Motor vehicles can be ordinary passenger cars, they can be buses, motorbikes, bicycles, trucks, utes, semi-trailers, in fact any form of motorised vehicle.

It does not matter if you were the driver of a vehicle or a passenger in the vehicle. If someone other than you was negligent in causing your car accident and you are injured, then you are entitled to bring a motor accident claim against the greenslip insurer of the motor vehicle at fault.

On occasions, injured persons are unsure if they have any rights because they may not have been wearing their seatbelt, they may have been in the back of a ute, a family member (husband, wife, son, daughter or other relatives) may have been driving at the time. It does not matter. If someone else can be blamed, you need to contact the expert lawyers in car accident compensation here at Taylor & Scott Lawyers.

If you are injured in a car accident as a driver or passenger, please follow these simple rules

• Note the time, date and street on which the accident occurred.
• Obtain details of the driver you consider at fault. If you are able to get his/her licence number, this is also helpful.
• Call the Police and inform them of the accident and inform them that you were injured.  Ask them for an Event number.
• Seek medical help.  Attend a hospital, visit your doctor and make sure you tell your treaters of every injury you have suffered even if they appear trivial. Sometimes the immediate effects of the accident are not known or felt. Sometimes you are in shock and this can mask the effect of the injuries that you have suffered.
• Keep records of all of your treatment. Keep copies of all of your accounts and receipts for treatment, chemist expenses, travelling expenses, physiotherapy and the like.
