The majority of people in New South Wales have been affected by a motor vehicle accident through their own experience or that of family and friends.

The impact that a motor vehicle accident can have on the victims of the accident and their families and friends can be life altering. At Lyons and Lyons our experienced motor vehicle accident solicitors work to ensure that victims of motor vehicle accidents receive their full entitlement to any personal injury compensation.

If you are injured in a car or motorcycle accident in New South Wales you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation under the Compulsory Third Party scheme.

To receive compensation you need to provide evidence that the driver or owner of the vehicle was partially or completely to blame for the accident. You will still be entitled to compensation even if you were partly to blame for your injuries by speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or not wearing a seatbelt.

Changes to the motor vehicle accident legislation in 2007 now mean that you can make a claim for compensation for injuries caused by your involvement in a blameless accident.

Blameless accidents include accidents caused by a driver suffering a sudden illness like a stroke or heart attack, accidents caused by an unexplainable mechanical or vehicle failure and accidents caused by an unavoidable collision with an animal on the road.

At Lyons and Lyons we can assist you to make a claim for the early payment of your treatment expenses up to $500 to help you cover medical costs until a formal claim for compensation can be lodged.

Our motor vehicle accident lawyers are highly trained in making a formal claim for compensation and can assist you in meeting the formal claim requirements such as obtaining a copy of the Police Incident Report of the accident.

We will advise you on whether you can make a claim for economic loss which includes the loss of your ability to earn an income and your medical expenses. We can also determine whether you will be able to make a claim for non-economic loss for your pain and suffering caused by the accident as the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme limits who can make a claim for this type of loss.

We have over twenty years experience in motor vehicle accident claims and are up-to-date on the latest legislation and cases in order to give you the most comprehensive professional advice on your claim.

Our motor vehicle accident specialists will ensure your matter is handled with complete confidentiality and will provide you with personal, individually tailored assistance.
