Motor Vehicle Accidents
Have you suffered an injury in a car, truck, motorbike, or bicycle accident?
You may be entitled to compensation. Even if you were partly at fault, you may still be able to apply for compensation.
Whether you were a driver, passenger, or bystander, our expert motor vehicle accident lawyers at CLK Legal in Adelaide can help you navigate the claims process so you receive the compensation you deserve.
Depending on the specific circumstances, this can include:
- Non-economic loss also known as pain and suffering
- Lost income (including past and future economic loss and loss of superannuation)
- Past and future medical expenses including treatment and rehabilitation costs which can also include gym memberships
- Travel costs
- Past & Future Care needs such as household and domestic assistance including cleaning, gardening, home maintenance, and home modification needs
- Voluntary services and care provided by certain family members
- Claims by spouses for loss of consortium
- And more
Importantly, if the claim is worth $25,000.00 or more, the party at fault must also pay towards your legal costs in addition to the compensation paid to you.
Why seeking legal advice is important.
Seeking legal advice as early as possible allows us to review your case and determine if you are able to bring a claim and to prepare a case strategy to achieve the best possible outcome you deserve.
Common law damages are assessed for the past and into the future which requires careful consideration, planning, and strategy to maximise your entitlements.
You can rely on our experience and specialised knowledge to help put you in the best position for the best possible result that you deserve. Too often clients come to us too late, and this can mean lost opportunities and compromised outcomes.
There are time limits.
Crucially, there are a few key time limits to be aware of including:
- The timing of the lodgement of your claim
- The commencement of legal proceedings which means if your claim has not settled ‘out of Court’, proceedings must be filed in Court within three years from the date of the injury
- The timing of reporting all your injuries to your medical team is also very important
Settlement Offers & the CLK LEGAL GUARANTEE.
Too often we see clients trying to navigate a claim without legal representation and accept very low offers made by the CTP insurers, where they are told that a lawyer will take all of their entitlements in legal fees if they consult a lawyer. Do not get caught in this trap!
At CLK Legal, we will give you an upfront GUARANTEE that if we cannot beat the offer made to you by the CTP insurer and leave you with more money in your pocket, after all of your legal costs have been paid, WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOU ANY LEGAL FEES.
That is our guarantee to you.
Do not accept a compensation offer without seeking legal advice! You may be entitled to more.
At CLK legal, we have a proven track record of securing higher settlements for our clients than the initial offers typically put forward.
It’s important to understand that insurers usually begin with low offers. Don’t be discouraged by this. We appreciate that these initial offers can make you want to ‘give in’ or even ‘drop’ your claim completely—but speak with our experienced lawyers at CLK Legal first. What may seem like too big a hill to climb may not actually be so difficult.
We will help you secure the compensation you’re owed and deserve and we will manage the entire process for you so you can focus on you and getting on with life. We do not require you to pay any fees until the matter resolves favourably for you.
No Win, No Fee.
If you receive an offer of settlement, speak to us before accepting it. We guarantee to get a better result for you—and if we don’t, then you don’t pay us.
We will only take on your matter if the compensation that you are likely to receive will exceed all legal costs.
If we do not succeed with your case, you will not be charged any legal fees and we do not require you to pay any legal fees until your case has achieved a successful settlement.
As specialist personal injury lawyers, CLK Legal can help you navigate the complexities of your case, help you obtain the required expert evidence, and take all of the stress from you to achieve the best compensation outcome that you deserve.
