Civil case/claiming compensation.

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about your son’s accident. In Papua New Guinea, compensation for road traffic accidents is generally pursued through the Motor Vehicles Insurance Limited (MVIL) third-party insurance scheme, including accidents involving government or police vehicles. Based on what you have described, the documents you listed — particularly the medical report, Section 5 notice, certificate of conviction, and traffic report — are key documents typically required to support an MVIL personal injury claim.

The next step is to formally lodge a third-party injury claim with MVIL on behalf of your son, as a minor, together with all supporting documents and proof of guardianship. Once submitted, MVIL will assess liability and the extent of injury before determining compensation. If there are delays, disputes, or issues with documentation (such as report dates or completeness), legal assistance may be helpful to ensure the claim is properly processed and your son’s rights are protected. I would be happy to guide you through the claim process and documentation requirements.

Sincerely,
