Past and future out of pocket expenses;
Past and future loss of income; and
Loss of superannuation.
Subject to exceeding thresholds contained in the legislation, claims can also be made for:
Pain and suffering; and
Past and future care
Limitation Periods
Court proceedings claiming compensation for your injuries must be issued within three (3) years from the date of the accident, otherwise you lose all of your rights to recover compensation for your injuries.
Settlement
Once your injuries have stabilised, the insurance company will usually attempt to negotiate a settlement, the majority of claims are settled by informal negotiation or at a settlement conference. If a settlement cannot be reached, then the claim must be determined by a court.
