Area of law
Motor Vehicle
We act for various insurers in the defence and management of motor vehicle claims across Australia, including personal injury (CTP) and property damage matters. Our team has extensive experience navigating the statutory and common law frameworks governing motor accident claims in all jurisdictions.
We advise on claims arising from a broad range of motor vehicle incidents, from low-speed property damage matters to complex, high-value injury claims involving catastrophic loss. Our approach is focused on early liability assessment, strategic claims management, and proportionate resolution.
Motor Property Insurance
Our highly sought after specialists have a wealth of experience in representing insurers for personal, commercial and heavy vehicle motor property insurance.
We take a comprehensive approach given the outcome of one claim can have a widespread impact on a portfolio of claims.
Our specialists focus on:
- Recoveries & litigation, ranging from high-volume straight-forward and low-value claims to complex, high-value motor litigation, including defended subrogated claims and representing insurers in litigated proceedings in all jurisdictions;
- Defending credit-hire & repair claims (including subrogated claims). We are at the forefront of judicial activity in this space, and have extensive experience in managing claims for inflated and excessive repair and credit-hire fees;
- Policy interpretation;
- Advising on risk mitigation strategies to reduce claim costs including working with clients to develop internal claims processes and procedures; and
- Indemnity disputes.
Make no mistake, we don’t just provide legal advice. We provide succinct strategies and practical recommendations which are always cost-effective and take into account commercial considerations and desired client outcomes.
Our approach to claims management recognises the importance of early and fair resolution. We also know that communication and implementation of an appropriate strategy are the foundation to early resolution of claims. Our goal is to facilitate communication with key stakeholders to understand the drivers of a claim and the desired outcome, assisting to resolve claims in a way that is beneficial to all parties.
