Journey and Motor Accident Claims
Journey and Motor Accident Claims
Summary
Journey injuries require a real and substantial connection to employment. Motor accident injuries may also engage motor accident scheme entitlements.
Following 2012 amendments, journey claims are possible where the employment connection is sufficient. Motor accidents may attract both no‑fault and fault‑based benefits; separate journey insurance may also apply.
Referral or Escalation
Do a legal referral to assess journey merits and identify the most suitable scheme(s).
Practical Tips
