Motor Vehicle AccidentNSW

This comprehensive and easy-to-follow publication helps practitioners to navigate the complex and technical legislation which applies to motor accident claims in NSW.

Two separate guides are provided: one for pre-December 2017 accidents and another for post-December 2017 accidents, to which different legislative schemes apply. Links to the necessary forms and precedents are supplied.

This valuable publication will allow a practitioner to advise with confidence on the critical time limits and dispute resolution processes for each step of a claim, understand the highly restricted nature of the benefits available and costs recoverable for claimants, and address the supporting material required to obtain the best result for the claimant.

Precedents provided with both guides include:

• Gathering information letters to client, insurer, and relevant authorities;
• Medical authorities;
• Various letters to client explaining the process at each stage;
• Letters to doctors;
• Applications for statutory benefits;
• Example pleadings and particulars for common law damages.

The detailed Retainer Instructions ensures nothing is missed and the client is properly advised.
