Financial distress
Many people involved in a motor vehicle accident find themselves with financial difficulties.
This usually happens when a person cannot work because of an injury. This can commonly result in not meeting mortgage payments and even household bills like the electricity and the telephone. If you have been involved in an accident and find yourself in a position of financial difficulty we strongly recommend that you contact us.
One thing you might want to do is seek whatever payments may be available to you for weekly living expenses. This might be Centrelink benefits or alternatively it might be Workers’ Compensation benefits. We can help you find a lawyer you can talk to about applying for such benefits.
Regrettably, insurance companies and government agencies just do not give a damn about that. The accident might not have been your fault and most people go through their lives thinking they are bullet proof and invincible and nothing can really happen to them. Unfortunately, sometimes it does.
Regrettably, the incidences of people suffering loss of income from injuries sustained in an accident and then loosing the house is very high.
If you are involved in an accident and are suffering financial distress please contact us. We can put you in touch with people who can make sure creditors (people you owe money to) are held at bay until any compensation claim you may have comes through. We can help you get financial assistance in some cases and in other cases we can put you in touch with people who can help you budget better so that you can continue to meet living expenses.
Whatever you do if you have had an accident do not do nothing. Talk to someone who can help as soon as possible.
