FATAL CAR ACCIDENT CLAIMS SOLICITOR

Serious, Catastrophic & Fatal Injury

Car accidents are the most common cause of serious, catastrophic and fatal injuries in Australia. Motor vehicle collisions causing death are particularly devastating as in most cases a fatal accident is caused by a 3rd party’s negligence that could have been avoided. If you or a loved one has incurred serious, catastrophic or fatal injuries in a car accident caused by someone else's negligence, you may have a legal claim for substantial compensation. Our specialist personal injury solicitors only handle car accident compensation claims for serious, catastrophic and fatal injuries and do not deal with minor ailments resulting from motor vehicle collisions.

No Win No Fee Fatal Accident Representation

If your injury or the fatal injury of a loved one was caused by the negligence of another driver, you are entitled to bring a car accident compensation claim. The key to receiving fair compensation in a serious injury case is proving the extent of the injury, the financial losses and the long-term effects of the injury. In the case of fatal accident compensation claims it is necessary to prove the extent of financial assistance provided by the deceased immediately prior to death to any dependents. Our car accident claims solicitors deal with catastrophic injury and fatal accident compensation cases on a no win no fee basis which means that they only get paid if you get paid. You do not have to fund or finance your catastrophic injury or fatal accident compensation claim as it proceeds.

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injury is a term that describes a severe injury requiring extensive medical treatment. Catastrophic injury is not limited to physical disability and can result in impairment of speech, reasoning and cognitive ability. Dependant on the nature and extent of the injury, one or more major bodily functions can also be disrupted including respiration, circulation and the gastrointestinal system. Examples of catastrophic injuries include :-

• spinal cord injuries
• traumatic brain injuries
• amputations
• severe & extensive burns
• multiple fractures
• loss of sight

Recovering from a Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries are characterized in part by lengthy recovery periods and the need for long term medical treatment and care. These injuries tend to be of a complex nature, requiring the expertise of a wide range of specialists. In addition to the physical complications of a catastrophic injury, there are emotional needs and comprehensive treatment may be expanded to include therapy, counseling and possible psychiatric care. The most serious catastrophic injuries can result in permanent disabilities however in many cases full recovery is possible. It is however often the case that short term or long term care is required and a car accident compensation claim solicitor can help you explore the possibility of legal action to cover the cost of past expenditure or the cost of ongoing care and other potential future losses and expenses.
