Claiming After Suffering a No-Fault Accident In VIC. We have specialist lawyers that can help you make a successful claim for your no-fault accident.

Making a claim in Preston

Generally, cases must be made in within three years of having your accident.

This timeframe isn’t set in stone as there are some exceptions. The best way to be sure whether or not you are entitled to reimbursement is to speak with one of our specialists.

To make a successful claim your lawyer will need to prove that the other party is the one responsible.

How long does a claim take?

Usually, cases take more than 12 months to finalise. Minor vehicle mishaps and whiplash claims can sometimes be finalised in 12 months. As a rule of thumb, the more serious your wounds are, the longer the claim will take. For some serious cases, it’s not unusual that they take three years plus to settle.

How much can I get?

There is no one size fits all solution we can use when it comes to calculating your entitlements.

The amount owed to plaintiffs depends on the severity of their wounds and the state in which they suffered them.

Some of the main things a solicitor will consider when negotiating your entitlements will include.

  • Any time off work and lost earnings
  • Any future lost earnings
  • Any changes in your ability to work
  • Care or support, even if given to you for free by family or friends
  • Any adaptations you might need to your home or vehicle
  • Travel and accommodation expenses

At this stage it is impossible to give you an accurate estimation of what you could receive however, you can make your own assessment online, without the need to call our team using our online estimator.

How to find the best lawyer to act for you

Although all solicitors must be fully qualified to practice, the level of skill and experience varies drastically. Lawyers specialise in many different areas of law. For example, some specialise in criminal law, while others might specialise in family law.

Choosing someone who specialises in cases like yours will ensure you optimise your entitlement. We work with some of the most experienced lawyers Preston has to offer and specialise in all areas of accident reimbursement. To find out whether or not you can claim with us call our Preston lawyers on 1800 106 107. All calls are free, and you won’t be pressured into starting your claim with us.

Do Preston claimants have to use a local law firm?

You don’t need to choose a lawyer in Preston to handle your claim. With many injury lawyers now operating nationwide, it is no longer necessary go with a local law firm.

This is because you will be required to attend a medical to have your injuries assessed.
