Motor vehicle accident Lawyers in Cairns
Know Your Right to Compensation

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, whether you were the driver, passenger, pedestrian, motorcyclist or cyclist in the accident, you are likely to have a right to claim compensation for your injuries, even if the accident was partly your own fault. If you have suffered a whiplash injury, a back injury or any other injury in a motor vehicle accident, we can help you. Even if there is no evidence of injury on x-rays or other scans, we can still assist you in obtaining a compensation payout.

Here at Adams McWilliams Solicitors, our Personal Injury Lawyers are experts in road accident compensation claims. Our team will help you in understanding the nature of your claim and ensuring that you receive maximum compensation.

Your right to compensation is qualified by the Motor Accident Insurance Act and the Civil Liability Act. You may have been injured whilst driving, as a passenger, or as a nearby pedestrian. As long as your injury was caused by the negligence of another person in the control of a motor vehicle, you have a valid claim.

If you suffer psychological damage, stress or anxiety, as the result of witnessing or being made aware of an accident, you may also have a claim.

Always check your entitlements

Once you process a claim with motor vehicle accident lawyers, you may be entitled to past and future loss of earnings as well as medical expenses, the cost of a required carer, or a housekeeper. You may also be entitled to monetary compensation for personal pain and suffering or the loss of enjoyment of life as a direct result of the accident, as well as from experiencing trauma, shock, stress or anxiety.

Road accident compensation for fatal accidents

If you are a dependant of somebody that is killed as the result of the negligent use of a motor vehicle, you may also have a claim entitlement. We process each individual claim with an unbiased, caring and professional nature that is geared towards securing the compensation that you deserve.

We also offer a no win no fee guarantee for all eligible cases, to ensure our confidence that no matter who you are or what you have suffered, we can receive compensation.

Adams McWilliam Solicitors are the experts in workers compensation claims. These claims can be difficult and complicated, but our team will ensure that you get every single dollar that you are entitled to.
