No one plans to be involved in a car accident, but it’s something that a lot of people will have to deal with at some point in their lives. If you have been adversely affected by an injury from a car crash or other motor vehicle accident, these are the next steps you should take to make sure you receive fair compensation.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be able to claim compensation for loss of wages, medical expenses, future loss of wages, and care and support in addition to future medical expenses.

Under South Australian law, an injured claimant may claim compensation if the accident that they were injured in is found to not be their fault.

If you can show that there was negligence on behalf of another party or driver, then you may be able to proceed with a claim for compensation.
