Pain and Suffering

We can pay compensation for pain and suffering (and other general damages) arising from the crash, including compensation for loss of amenities of life, loss of enjoyment of life, curtailment of life expectation, and bodily or mental harm.

Your injuries need to be assessed at a certain level for these payments to be made. For example as at 1 July 2021, claims for general damages have to exceed $23,000 and the maximum amount payable is $438,000.
