    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a personal injury?

    Personal injury refers to physical or psychological harm suffered by an individual as a result of another party’s negligence or intentional actions.

    How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?

    In NSW, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally 3 years from the date of the injury or from the date when the injury was discovered. It’s essential to file a claim within this timeframe to preserve your legal rights.

    What is a TPD claim?
    TPD stands for Total and Permanent Disability. It is a type of insurance claim that provides financial compensation if you’re unable to work due to a severe injury or illness. This does not have to be caused by an accident or incident at work – just leaving you unable to work. 

    TPD insurance is often included in super funds, but it is important to understand the specific terms and conditions. It is essential to review your fund’s policy to understand your coverage and eligibility requirements if you think you have this covered in your super fund.

    For the best advice on how to navigate a TPD claim, call us today on (02) 4941 8970 or Contact Us for an obligation-free consultation.

    How long does a car accident compensation case take? 

    The timeframes for making a claim vary, ranging from as little as 28 days to as long as 3 years, depending on factors like location and the type of compensation sought.

    Different factors will affect the length of the case, including how complex it is, severity of injuries, disputed liability and whether there are multiple parties involved. There may also be time taken to investigate and gather evidence and information. Whether the case can be successfully negotiated out of court or results in litigation will also affect the length of the case.

    This can be a complex area of law to navigate, so call us today on 02 4941 8970 or Contact Us for an obligation-free consultation.

    What should I do if I’m injured in a public place?

    If you are injured in a public place, it is important to seek medical attention immediately, report the incident to the property owner or manager, gather evidence, and seek legal advice from a qualified personal injury lawyer.
