Being involved in litigation relating to a motor vehicle accident can be quite distressing. A lawyer can assist in many ways including:

• providing advice about your rights and entitlements;
• helping you to lodge a claim;
• contacting insurance companies involved on your behalf;
• gathering evidence to support your case such as medical reports or details of other vehicles involved;
• explaining police reports;
• analysing the evidence to determine arguments for your case;
• negotiating with other parties;
• drafting a letter of demand;
• preparing and commencing an appeal at a tribunal;
• preparing an application to commence proceedings in court;
• preparing other court documents such as affidavits;
• representing you in court;
• negotiating a settlement of your claim and processing any payment you are entitled to receive; and
• applying for a serious injury certificate and common law damages.
