Car Accidents
Most Australian adults chance car accidents daily. Our regular routines force us to get behind the wheel and into situations involving speed, other vehicles and limited room for error, with safety reliant on human ability to negotiate obstacles and reach the destination. Car accidents are unfortunately destined to happen, usually the result of human error, although mechanical failure and other unforeseen circumstances are also possible, and victims of car accidents need to know their legal rights for compensation.
Taylor and Scott Lawyers are compensation specialists with a proud history.

Who can make a car accident compensation claim?

Serious car injuries are traumatic, while ongoing medical conditions or disabilities are not uncommon.

Car accident compensation is a monetary value relative to past, present and future needs of accident victims, including:
