Groundbreaking decision on recent motor vehicle accident case

Firstly, if you have sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident you should promptly seek legal advice from an experienced compensation lawyer.

A recent motor vehicle accident case found that a 3cm superficial laceration to an injured claimants’ wrist was a ‘non-threshold’ (viz non-minor). If you have been injured in a car accident and it is determined that you are suffering from a ‘non-threshold’ injury you may be entitled to lump sum compensation for wage loss and in some cases pain and suffering.

Crucial evidence in the case was the ambulance report noting the lacerations, photographs of the injury and a doctor’s report (see link below).

It is important to ensure that all injuries including lacerations are included in the Application for Personal Injury Benefits form and Certificate of Capacity/Fitness.
