MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT COMPENSATION

If you have been injured in an accident directly caused by the driving of a motor vehicle, you may be entitled to claim motor vehicle accident compensation. This section of the website is designed to summarise all aspects related to claiming compensation for injuries arising from motor vehicle accidents. In the following pages, you will find out:

• What you should do if you have been injured in an accident,
• The time limits associated with claiming compensation,
• How our legal fees are charged and our No Win No Fee policy, and
  
• What you can expect from insurance companies.

Most injuries sustained by motor vehicle accidents are directly related to car accidents, and so are covered by the Compulsory Third Party Insurance and are legislated under the Motor Accident Act. Although it is compulsory for drivers of vehicles to have insurance, a claim for compensation can still be made even if the driver at fault was not insured, you did not get the details of the other driver or if you consider yourself to be partly at fault.

The term “motor vehicle accident” refers not only to car accidents, but also to any form of motor transport accident including:

• Car Accidents,
• Motorcycle Accidents,
• Aviation Accidents,
• Boating Accidents,
• Pedestrian Accident,
• Railroad Accident,
• School Bus Accident,
• Train Accidents,
• Trucking Accidents, and
• Fire Accidents caused by cars and other vehicles.

Often, accident victims are forced to endure countless dealings with insurance companies and state accident authorities. That’s why, at Stacks/Goudkamp, we never act for insurance companies or for defendants of motor accident compensation claims.

So if you have been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, contact Stacks/Goudkamp today by completing the form on the right.
