Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still claim compensation if I was partly at fault?

It’s understandable to be concerned if you were partially responsible for an accident. Remember, you might still be eligible for compensation if you:

  • had a part in the disaster and were partly to blame;
  • were high on drugs or consumed too much alcohol;
  • did not follow the rules of the road;
  • were not wearing a seatbelt;
  • wore a helmet while riding a motorbike, scooter, or bicycle; or
  • were in an open-top vehicle with no safety straps.

To start a compensation claim, it’s important to show that another driver or vehicle owner (not you) was at least partly at fault. However, there are exceptions, especially in cases involving catastrophic injuries.

How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer in Adelaide?

At Gajic Lawyers, Compensation lawyers handle all compensation claims on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means you’ll only have to pay our legal fees if your claim is successful.

The amount of work necessary to process your claim will determine your legal costs.

How much compensation do you get for a motor vehicle accident in Adelaide?

Compensation can vary depending on the impact of the accident on your life. With over 30 years of experience handling CTP claims in Adelaide, we’ve seen settlements range from $50,000 to over $1 million. Compensation can cover:

  • Medical and rehabilitation expenses
  • Lost income and future earning potential
  • Support services and ongoing care needs
  • Changes to your lifestyle and daily activities

Contact Gajic Lawyers today for a realistic assessment of your CTP claim. Our experienced Adelaide team will provide clear, practical advice on your compensation entitlements.

How long do I have to lodge a car accident claim in Adelaide?

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to lodge a claim. However, it’s crucial to start the process as soon as possible to ensure all evidence is preserved.

Can I claim for a pre-existing condition that was aggravated?

Yes, you can claim compensation if the accident worsened a pre-existing condition. However, you’ll need strong medical evidence to support your claim.
