Car Accidents

Our Focus

We handle vehicle-related matters that often fall between insurers, repairers, and private parties. These include:

  • Disputes over liability (fault) and quantum (costs) following an accident.

  • Property damage claims, including total loss/write-offs and diminished value assessments.

  • Unpaid repair invoices or subrogated recovery actions between insurers and third parties.

  • Credit hire and loss of use claims.

  • Negligence or breach of contract disputes involving repair shops or towing companies.

  • Tribunal and court representation, including NCAT, Local Court, District Court, and Supreme Court proceedings

Our experience extends to both consumer and commercial contexts, from private motorists to small fleet operators and insurers.

Our Approach

Vehicle accident disputes can quickly become complex, particularly when multiple insurers, assessors, or repairers are involved.

We provide practical, strategic advice from the outset – assessing fault, evidence, and cost exposure – to help you make informed decisions before litigation becomes necessary.

Where proceedings are unavoidable, we advocate firmly to protect your position while focusing on early and cost-effective outcomes.

If You Are a Business

For businesses, every hour spent managing a claim is time lost to operations. We take care of the legal process – from investigating liability to briefing experts and negotiating settlements – so you can focus on running your business.

We understand the commercial pressures that follow a vehicle accident, including hire car costs, downtime, and insurance disputes, and we work to minimise that impact.

If You Are an Individual

For private motorists, dealing with insurers and repairers can be frustrating and confusing. We explain your options clearly and help you recover what you are entitled to – whether it is the cost of repairs, the value of your vehicle, or compensation for losses suffered.
