South Australia has one of the highest road accident fatality rates compared to other states and territories - 15% worse than the national average.
On average, road crashes on South Australian roads injure 24 people each day, and kill one person every 2-3 days. Nearly 75% of the people who die in crashes and 62% of those seriously injured are males. Excessive speed is a major factor in at least 50% of injury collisions and 20% of fatal collisions.
In South Australia, the Motor Accident Commission (MAC) is the Compulsory Third Party Insurer, and Allianz Limited is the claims manager which is responsible for handling the claims.
Our personal injury lawyers are experienced in dealing with Allianz and MAC, and can help you maximise your entitlements under the law. Personal injury law can be complicated, especially if liability (or “fault”) is in dispute. That is why we suggest that you seek an independent legal opinion about your case.
If you have been injured because of somebody else’s fault, you may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment expenses reasonably incurred as a result of the accident, including medical, hospital, pharmaceutical, physiotherapy, chiropractic.
You may also be entitled to payment for loss of income or wages, as a result of the accident, if for example, you needed time off work to recover from the accident, as well as compensation for loss of dependency or attendant care.
Compensatory damages may also be awarded for pain and suffering experienced as a result of the accident.
The amount of the compensation that can be awarded will depend on the severity of your injuries, the medical evidence, assessed in accordance with the law.
If you have lost a family member as a result of a motor accident, you may also be able to claim various damages, including funeral expenses. Our lawyers are experienced in representing families affected by fatal road accidents.
A personal injury lawyer with expertise in motor accident law is in the best position to review the medical evidence, factual evidence and apply the law to your particular case so as to ensure that you are claiming your full entitlements.
Do not delay in seeking legal advice, as time limits apply in making a claim. To protect your legal rights, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible.
