How does the Public Trustee protect motor accident victims?

Updated by MLAW
In cases where the relevant amount exceeds $5,000, the lawyer for the accident victim is required to obtain the agreement of the Public Trustee for the Solicitor and Client costs and disbursements payable by the accident victim. The Public Trustee checks to ensure that these costs and disbursements are reasonable. If the accident victim is not represented by a lawyer, the Public Trustee will check to ensure that out of court compensation payment for the accident victim is adequate.
