Car Accident Lawyers

Involved in a road accident as a driver, rider, pillion or passenger? You may be entitled to compensation.

Car Accident Lawyers Sydney

At BPC Lawyers, we can assist you in all compensation claims relating to the following:

  • Car Accidents
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Public Transport Accidents
  • Truck Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents

One of the most critical pieces of advice that our Car Accident Lawyers give our clients to act quickly. In NSW, there are strict time limits for lodging personal injury claims. Generally, a claim must be made within six months of the accident, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

Moreover, the sooner you engage our Car Accident Lawyers after an incident, the better your chances of building a strong case. Evidence can disappear or degrade over time, witnesses’ memories can fade, and crucial documentation may become more difficult to obtain.

It’s important to note that car accident compensation in Sydney and throughout New South Wales isn’t limited solely to incidents involving passenger vehicles.  If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident after 1 December 2017, your rights are governed by the Motor Accident Injuries Act. This scheme covers drivers and passengers involved in a car accident as well as pedestrians, motorcycle riders, cyclists and injuries suffered on public transport.

Beilby Poulden Costello are able to offer expert advice for your personal circumstances.  We understand the devastating impact that a motor vehicle accident can have upon you and your family.

The scheme is complex and there are a significant number of time limits.  We are able to assist you by:

  1. Explaining the claims process.
  2. Gathering evidence in support of your claim.
  3. Negotiating with the insurer in respect of any dispute about your claim.
  4. Offering advice and making sure that the compensation that is paid to you is fair and just.
  5. Negotiating your damages claim and if necessary presenting your claim before the Court.

It is important that you seek legal advice without delay to ensure that your rights are protected. Please call our personal injury lawyers at BPC today.

One of the primary reasons to engage our Car Accident Lawyers at BPC is our ability to level the playing field when dealing with insurance companies. Insurance providers often have teams of lawyers working to minimise payouts. Without proper legal representation, accident victims may find themselves at a significant disadvantage, potentially accepting settlements far below what they’re entitled to receive.

Our Car Accident Lawyers in Sydney offer a range of services to their clients, including:

  1. Case Evaluation: Assessing the merits of a claim and advising clients on the best course of action.
  2. Evidence Gathering: Collecting police reports, witness statements, medical records, and other crucial evidence to support the claim.
  3. Negotiation: Engaging with insurance companies and other parties to secure fair settlements.
  4. Litigation: Representing clients in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation.
  5. Legal Guidance: Advising clients on their rights and obligations throughout the claims process

All motor vehicles that are driven on public roads in NSW are required to hold a compulsory third party insurance policy as a condition of the vehicle’s registration.

The policy is uncapped and compensation is dependent upon the entitlements set out in the legislation.

If the accident occurred on a public road, SIRA (State Insurance Regulatory Authority) will appoint an insurer to administer and pay for the claim.

You need to send a Personal Injury Claim Form to the insurance company within three months of the date of the motor vehicle accident.

However, the insurer will not make weekly payments of compensation until the claim form is served unless it is sent to the insurer within 28 days of the accident.

There are many time limits in the legislation and you should seek legal advice without delay to protect your rights.

For many compensation claims, we offer a no-win, no-fee agreement.  That means you only pay legal fees if you receive compensation from the insurer.

In motor vehicle accident claims, you will not receive a bill from us if you receive less than $75,000.00.   If the claim is worth more than that, the insurer will pay approximately two-thirds of your legal costs and you will be required to pay the balance from the settlement or verdict when recovered.
