Crownmark Lawyers acts for people injured in motor vehicle accidents, including drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. Compensation for road injuries is governed by state based schemes, which provide support for treatment and lost income regardless of who was at fault, and separately allow damages to be claimed where another party was negligent and the injury meets the required threshold.

The early stages of a claim matter more than most people expect. Reporting requirements, the wording of medical certificates, and the way an injury is described at the outset can affect entitlements much later. We help clients lodge claims correctly, understand what the scheme covers, and avoid the gaps that commonly arise when a claim is managed without advice.

As an injury stabilises, the focus shifts to permanent impairment, ongoing treatment needs, and whether a damages claim is available. We advise on how impairment is assessed, what medical material is required, and how a common law claim interacts with benefits already received. Where a decision is unfavourable, we advise on review and dispute pathways.

We manage the claim process from beginning to end, including correspondence with insurers, arrangement of medical evidence, and negotiation of settlement. Our role is to keep the process organised and comprehensible, so clients can concentrate on recovery rather than administration.

Our services include:

• Claim lodgement and scheme eligibility advice

• Treatment, rehabilitation and income support entitlements

• Coordination of medical and expert evidence

• Permanent impairment assessment and lump sum claims

• Common law damages claims where negligence applies

• Review of rejected, reduced or terminated entitlements

• Negotiation and settlement of claims
