If through the negligence of a motor vehicle driver on the road, you suffer bodily injury you are entitled to claim compensation.
If in the same circumstances, you suffer fatal injury, your dependents are also entitled to claim compensation.
Claims should be made against the vehicle owner and/or the driver. Usually these claims are passed on to the vehicle's insurer, who will investigate the claim and settle if appropriate.
You may also claim directly from the insurer of the vehicle. You may get the name of the insurer from the Police or the Transport Department in most cases.
All accidents in which bodily injuries occur must be reported to the Police, and all owners of motor vehicles are required by law to be insured against claims for bodily injuries.
It is the claimant's responsibility to make every effort to obtain compensation from the owner and/or the driver of the vehicle and the vehicle's insurer.
