You have just been involved in a car accident. You may be injured, stressed, and still in shock. Pursuing a CTP insurance claim following this can be daunting and overwhelming. However, is it worth engaging a lawyer? In this article, our CTP Lawyers explain 5 reasons why this could be the best option for you.

1.    Maximise Your Compensation

One of the key benefits of engaging a CTP lawyer is the substantial increase in the compensation payout you may be entitled to receive.

Without the assistance of a CTP lawyer, you may have an inaccurate calculation of your losses, subsequently resulting in a payout that is far lower than what you deserve. In fact, statistics prove that, on average, legally represented claimants recover much more compensation than those that do not have legal assistance.

CTP Lawyers have a thorough understanding of the CTP claim process and your lawyer can maximise the payout you receive by accurately assessing the full extent of your losses and ensuring that nothing is overlooked. They will ensure that appropriate evidence, including medico-legal evidence, is obtained to prove your losses – including those that may occur in the future. This is done by calculating your total losses, such as medical expenses, rehab costs, loss of income, potential future loss of income and treatment expenses, as well as compensation for pain and suffering – resulting in a fair settlement, and the maximum possible compensation being awarded to you.

2.    Handling Legal Challenges

The CTP claim process can be complicated, with various procedural requirements, deadlines, and medical assessments. Having a CTP lawyer working with you on your claim can ease this process. They will ensure that all the necessary steps are completed correctly and on time, preventing any delays and allowing for a shorter claim duration. Time limits apply and if they’re missed, this can impact your entitlement to compensation.

3.    Expert Resources

A CTP Lawyer can assist you by connecting you with quality support services that can support your rehabilitation and your claim. Resources including medical experts and specialists who will be able to provide opinions in support of your matter. Having credible sources can strongly support your claim and minimise disputes with your insurer. This often results in you benefitting from a higher payout and a shorter claim duration.

4.    Court Representation

CTP insurers at times may provide a low and unreasonable offer of settlement. Should you not be happy with the settlement amount proposed by the insurer, your lawyer is able to take your case to court to fight for the best outcome.

If you engage a CTP lawyer, you can be certain that your case is being presented in a professional and persuasive manner in court, maximising your prospects of a fair award of damages to compensate for your injuries and losses.

5.    Reduced Stress

After a motor vehicle accident, it is crucial that you focus on your physical and mental recovery and work towards returning to your normal life as best you can. While a CTP lawyer takes care of your claim, you can trust that you are being fairly advocated for and will receive the compensation you deserve.

This provides you with some peace of mind through a difficult time in your life and allows you to place your total focus and energy into your recovery and healing.
