Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do I have to make a personal injury claim in the ACT?

    Time limits apply to most personal injury claims in the ACT. Generally, you must notify the relevant party or insurer soon after the injury occurs—sometimes within 30 days. Legal proceedings may need to begin within three years, depending on the type of claim. Extensions can apply in certain situations, but early action is recommended to preserve your options. If you’re unsure which deadline applies to your circumstances, a Free Online Claim Check or initial consultation may help clarify your situation and the next steps.

  • Can I still make a claim if the injury happened in a public place?

    Yes—if you were injured in a public place in Tuggeranong, such as a shopping centre, footpath or public facility, you may be eligible to lodge a public liability claim. These claims relate to incidents where someone responsible for the property may have failed to provide a safe environment. You will need to provide medical evidence, incident details and possibly witness statements. Time limits and evidence requirements apply, so it's important to act promptly. You can use a Free Online Claim Check to find out whether a claim may be possible.

  • What happens if an insurer denies my compensation claim?

    If your compensation claim is declined, you still have options. Depending on the claim type, you may be able to request a review, provide additional documentation or escalate the matter to an independent body—such as the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for Comcare matters or the ACT Industrial Court for workers compensation. Understanding why the claim was denied is the first step. Common reasons include missing documentation, unclear medical evidence or disputes over liability. Legal guidance can help you identify your next steps and respond within the allowed timeframes.
