Even a minor motor vehicle accident in NSW can raise legal issues about who was at fault for damage to individuals or property. As a driver you should follow the advice below:

• The process involves getting the other driver’s details – name and address, phone number, car registration number, their insurance company.
• If the accident is major, do the above and call the NSW police but never admit you were at fault. If it’s a minor accident, report it to the police and get a report number for a possible NSW insurance claim for a compensation payout.
• Have a medical checkup even if you believe your injuries are minor – shock can conceal the severity of whiplash for instance, which might not reveal itself for months.
• Call your insurance company and make a claim.
• Lodge your claim within three months after the accident, or within 28 days if you wish to claim ‘back pay’ for loss of earnings.
• Get witness statements, names and phone numbers.
• Call PK Simpson lawyers in Sydney, NSW.
