Common Questions About Car Accident Compensation

How much is a car accident compensation payout in NSW?

Loss of income and pain and suffering are two parts of one common-law lump sum. Both need a non-threshold injury; pain and suffering also needs more than 10% WPI. The maximum for pain and suffering is $691,000. There is no single average. We give you an honest, specific estimate of your claim before you commit.

What is the time limit for a car accident claim in NSW?

You have 3 months from the date of the accident to lodge a claim form to be compensated for lost wages and medical expenses. Late lodgements can be accepted if you have a reasonable explanation for the delay. Acting early keeps every option open and avoids unnecessary complications.

Can I make a car accident claim if I was partly at fault?

Usually yes. Being partly at fault reduces your payout rather than ending your claim. For a lump sum payout you generally need a non-threshold injury and to be not mostly at fault. We tell you honestly where you stand.

What is a non-threshold injury in a car accident compensation claim?

A non-threshold injury is more than a minor soft-tissue or minor psychological injury, for example a fracture, tear, nerve damage or a recognised psychiatric diagnosis, for example PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). It matters because non-threshold injuries unlock a lump sum payout for loss of income and longer-term benefits, and where your injury is above 10% WPI, a lump sum for pain and suffering as well. It usually needs medical assessment, which we arrange.

Do I need a car accident lawyer, and what does it cost?

You do not have to use one, but a car accident lawyer or solicitor can mean a larger payout and far less stress. We work on no win, no fee: nothing upfront, and if we do not win, you do not pay our fees.
