Melbourne car accident third party claim
We can make sure that on the day of your accident, you get a rental car delivered to your door, and when you pick up your car, you can leave the rental car where you pick up your car.
If the other person doesn’t have insurance this is a little trickier, but if they do, it’s easy for us to sort out for you.
Getting your expenses paid
Car accidents break things other than your car – maybe your phone went flying and the screen smashed, your expensive driving glasses got cracked, or a lovely hardcover book got wrecked.
Don’t just accept these losses as part of your accident – if someone else caused the accident, you are entitled to be compensated for your losses. That is, your expenses, whatever they may be.
Expenses caused by an accident could include:
- Personal items broken or lost
- Glasses cracked
- Mobile phones smashed
- Books damaged
- Clothes ripped
- Time off work
- Transport costs
- Fees paid
We can arrange for all of this to happen with one phone call. Keep in mind we will need your help in terms of providing information to support your claim against a third party.
We do require your cooperation! You may need to assist, help or work with us, which might include making witness statements, swearing affidavits, provide instructions to lawyers and possibly appear in court should the matter become litigious.
