Motor Vehicle Accidents

Accidents are stressful enough without the paperwork, legal jargon and claims process. We’ll guide you through deadlines and claims so you don’t miss the compensation you’re entitled to.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, insurers may push you to settle quickly. Don’t sign away your future.

A lawyer can help complete your claim form, explain your rights, and make sure you don’t settle for less than you deserve. Don’t accept an insurer’s offer without speaking to us first – it could save you thousands.

We offer a FREE, no-obligation first interview (by phone or in person) to discuss your claim and the likelihood of compensation.

If you’re worried about costs, we can help.

For most claims we offer a no win, no fee arrangement – meaning you won’t pay us if your claim isn’t successful. In many cases, insurers also cover a significant part of your legal fees. We’ll explain everything up front, so there are no surprises.

*Some conditions apply

Help.
When you need it.

A motor vehicle accident can turn your life upside down in an instant. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or motorbike rider, if you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to compensation.

Book a FREE first interview

If another driver was at fault – even partly – you may have a right to claim. For the most serious injuries, South Australia’s Lifetime Support Scheme may help, even if no one was at fault.
Every situation is different, but compensation may include:

Pain and suffering

Lost income or superannuation

Medical treatment and rehabilitation

Home or garden care

Support from family or friends providing services

Compensation for your spouse or partner for the effect on your relationship due to your injuries

Because strict rules and thresholds apply, it’s important to get advice tailored to your circumstances.
In South Australia, all registered vehicles are covered by Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance. This means the insurer – not the driver – usually pays compensation. As of July 2022, there are five CTP insurers: AAMI, NRMA, Allianz, QBE and Youi.
You generally need to lodge a claim form within six months of the accident, and court proceedings within three years if it hasn’t been resolved. Different rules apply for children and there are steps you must take before going to court, so the safest option is to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

At Andersons, our dedicated personal injury lawyers are here to guide you through the process with understanding and expertise. We’ll fight to protect your rights, support you along the way, and work to secure the best possible outcome.

You’ve got nothing to lose – if you need help, contact us today on 8238 6666 or email enquiry@andersons.com.au to book your FREE first interview.

Our lawyers are driven to help you find the right solution for your problem.

Excellent guidance and advice

We’ve had great experiences with Andersons. Excellent guidance and advice, quick and comprehensive answers to my many questions, and very friendly genuine communications. Thank you!

– Kristie

Putting the trust back in lawyers

This firm puts the trust back in lawyers. The lovely team were very pleasant and very helpful. My lawyer Mathew Fuss was amazing and very informative, knowledgeable in law and explained everything in such a great manner and their fees where great as to the effort and time they put into my claims.

I would recommend this firm to anyone who wants a lawyer to fight for their rights. I’m glad I went with Andersons Solicitors as they did themselves proud and myself with the wonderful results of my claims. I would use them again if I had to in the future.

– Denise

Going above and beyond to make everything easier for us

Fantastic service! Amanda St Clair went above and beyond for us and made everything so much easier – she completely removed the stress from the house purchase. Fully recommend Amanda for all conveyancer needs.

– Tim

Taking the stress out of big events

Andersons’ conveyancer Sheryn Miles is a wonder! She’s very experienced, knowledgeable, efficient and a joy to interact with. Having Sheryn handle the conveyancing for multiple real estate purchases and sales on my behalf over a number of years has taken much of the stress out of these big financial events.

– Jane

Your commitment and guidance was excellent

My case was successful! I recently went through a traumatic situation but knowing I had Margaret Kaukas’s expertise and dedication to see me through made a terrible situation so much easier to cope with. The commitment and guidance was excellent. I highly recommend Andersons.

– Kerry

I appreciate the candour and honesty

Dear Madelaina, I would like to thank you for your help with my case. I appreciate the candour and honesty with my situation. I am pleased with the outcome and your handling of the case. I would gladly recommend your services. Thank you again and wishing you all the best in the future.

– Marina

Thanks for your patience, persistence and professionalism

I just wanted to thank Stefanie Wheare for her service in my matter. Many thanks for your patience, persistence and professionalism in dealing with my property settlement and divorce. I would recommend you to any others that may need legal services in the future.

– Anonymous

Kept me well informed at all times

I would like to take this opportunity let you know Julia Arena was amazing. Every step throughout my matter was handled professionally, caring and without me having to chase anything up. She kept me well informed at all times. I would just like to say “thank you Julia”. I would definitely recommend Anderson’s to family/friends in particular, asking for Julia.

– Gloria

Thank you for your technical skill, professionalism and humanity

Thank you for your efforts in relation to my matters and the result you have achieved for me. While my injuries were not grievous, they were life changing in many ways.
This settlement will allow me to provision against an operation I will likely require at some time.
Thank you for your technical skill, professionalism and humanity, I would readily recommend your team to colleagues in similar situation.

– Robert

Highly professional and supportive

Suzanne Pinyon from Andersons Solicitors recently acted for and supported me with regards a CTP claim following a Motor Vehicle Accident. Suzanne’s expertise and experience in this field resulted in a very favourable and satisfactory outcome for me and her manner throughout the very lengthy process was highly professional and supportive, instilling in me tremendous confidence along the way. If you find yourself in a CTP claim or similar, then I’m sorry for your injuries, but investing in the services of Suzanne Pinyon will be money well spent in my experience.

– Damian

Generously available

I am very impressed with help given to us by Felix Hoelscher in dealing with a contractual dispute. Felix was generously available to answer our questions and provided sound, valuable advice. Grateful for his help in obtaining a satisfactory outcome for us.

– Anonymous

Trustworthy and thorough

I highly recommend Anderson’s Solicitors to anyone who needs their services. Francisco De Sousa, being the lawyer who looked after my case, is as trustworthy and thorough as they come. I was informed and made sure I knew every detail of what was going on before any go ahead was taken. He explains everything so you understand and made to feel like you have someone who is definitely on your side, no matter what situation you find yourself in. I recommend anyone who needs an expert law firm to give them a call, and you will feel safe to know they will do everything in their power to give you justice and fair results.
Five stars *****
