Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer
At W.D. Hunt & Associates we specialise in motor vehicle compensation claims for people injured in vehicle accidents particularly those who have suffered severe brain injuries, major orthopaedic injuries and amputations.
The driving force behind our Firm is Wendy Hunt, an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law who has been a member of the Westmead Hospital Legal Panel for over a decade advising patients on their rights to make a compensation claim for their injuries. Complimenting this invaluable experience is Wendy’s previous career as a Social Welfare Worker that has given her insight into the difficulties faced when people suffer a personal injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident. For example, the enormous changes to an individual’s lifestyle, living with constant pain and discomfort on a daily basis, the interference with their relationships, their change in economic circumstances and the need to get the case over and done with as quickly as possible.

What this means is that you do not pay any legal fees in respect of your car accident compensation claim unless your compensation claim is successful. In the event that your claim is not successful, then you will not have to pay any legal fees. In saying this, we have a 100% success rate in conducting motor vehicle accident claims. We are also flexible in relation to disbursements that you may have to incur for medical reports and other expert reports in support of your compensation claim In most cases we will pay these up front on your behalf and when your claim is concluded, the insurer will reimburse this firm for most, if not all of your disbursements. If there is any shortfall we will wait until you receive your compensation payment before asking for reimbursement.
