CTP Insurance claims and settlement offers – why you should see a lawyer
If you or a loved one are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The types of compensation you may be entitled to include pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, past and future care, past and future economic loss and any associated loss of superannuation and past and future medical and expenses including travel and medication.
Currently in SA only around 26% of people claiming compensation after being injured in a car accident are represented by a lawyer. Most people are accepting settlement offers from insurers with no independent advice, and we understand are sometimes, discouraged from seeking legal advice.
The issue here is that often, claimants are not receiving the compensation that they’re entitled to under the relevant compensation scheme. Once a settlement has been entered into there is no entitlement to further compensation so it is imperative that the entitlements to compensation are fully explored.
