Motor Vehicle Insurance2022-02-24T12:13:15+00:00

If your car is stolen or involved in an accident, car insurance is devised to safeguard you financially. There are two sorts of damages for which you can file a claim on your automobile insurance:

  • Your vehicle has been damaged, or;
  • Damages done by your vehicle to another person’s vehicle.

Your vehicle may also be eligible for a car insurance claim if it was destroyed by fire, water, or theft, based on your car insurance coverage.

If you are an owner of a car, it is wise to buy insurance through a known provider. Car insurance provides extra coverage along with your Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance, which is bought by default when you register your vehicle.

Understanding what you can claim for and when

You may make a claim in a range of circumstances, including:

  • You’ve been injured in a car accident or motorcycle accident, no matter the cause
  • A child or dependent of yours has been injured on the road
  • If you were a pedestrian or cyclist involved in a road accident
  • You were injured on public transport
  • You’ve suffered psychological trauma as a result of an immediate family member being fatally injured on the road
  • You’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident whilst working, including on the road or off-road (e.g. in a tractor, quad bike or forklift accident).

One of the most important things to do right now is to understand your options by seeking legal advice as soon as possible. In most cases, a claim for compensation with the TAC must be lodged within 12 months of the accident. Get in touch with us as soon as you can and we can help you with your next steps.

Your entitlements

Even if you were at fault in the accident, you may be entitled to:

  • Medical expenses and care
  • Weekly payments for loss of income
  • Lump sum impairment benefits
  • Other expenses such as rehabilitation equipment and medical aids, and home and vehicle modifications

Understanding common law claims

In a road or transport accident case, a common law claim involves taking action against a negligent party. So, if another person was at fault for your accident and you have a serious injury, you may be entitled to claim damages through a common law claim.

For example, if the driver of the other car ran a stop sign, causing the accident, then you may be entitled to common law compensation. This can compensate you for your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and past and future financial loss which is in addition to your other Transport Accident Commission (TAC) entitlements.
