Motor Vehicle Accidents (Lifetime Support Scheme) Act 2013

This Act applies to and in relation to—

motor vehicle injuries that result from a motor vehicle accident occurring on or after the commencement of this section; and

motor vehicle injuries that result from a motor vehicle accident occurring before the commencement of this section where the person who suffered the injury is accepted into the Scheme under section 6.

This Act may apply to and in relation to a motor vehicle injury whether or not the injury was caused (wholly or in part) by the fault of the owner or driver of the motor vehicle in the use or operation of the motor vehicle or of any other person, or whether or not the injury can be attributable to the act or omission of any particular person, and so applies even if the injured person was at fault (whether as owner or driver of the vehicle or otherwise).

In addition, if a person becomes a participant in the Scheme, this Act applies to and in relation to—

any injury that is wholly or predominantly related to the motor vehicle injury that gave rise to the person's participation in the Scheme; and

any other injury that, under the LSS Rules, will be covered as part of the person's participation in the Scheme; and

without limiting paragraphs (a) and (b) (or any other provisions of this Act), any treatment, care and support needs, or any expenses, that under the LSS Rules will be covered as part of the person's participation in the Scheme.
