Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
Motor vehicle accident injuries can create uncertainty about medical treatment, time off work and your general wellbeing. This page outlines the common issues people face after a road accident, the types of information that may be relevant to discuss with a lawyer and how Law Tram helps you securely connect with licensed Australian personal injury lawyers who can provide guidance specific to your situation. The service is fully online and obligation-free.
Injured in a car, motorcycle, or road accident?
Being injured in a road accident can be overwhelming not just physically but also emotionally and financially. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or motorbike rider, you may be entitled to compensation through your state’s motor accident or transport accident scheme.
