frequently asked questions

The timeframe for filing a compensation claim can vary depending on the claim type and the specifics of the incident. Generally, it is three years from the date of the incident which caused the injury HOWEVER there are some important qualifications to this “limitation period”. Firstly, some injuries can be accrued over a period of time – so while the day the symptoms first appeared is important, it may be that the limitation period started earlier when the circumstances causing the symptoms first commenced. Secondly, Queensland has a variety of legislation which imposes different pre-litigation processes, depending on whether you are claiming for a work accident, car accident or public liability accident. As a result, it is advisable to begin the legal process as soon as possible to ensure all relevant evidence is preserved and that your claim can be protected before the limitation period expires. We recommend contacting Rin Kim Law immediately after an incident to receive support and guidance based on the specific details of your case.

During the compensation claim process, Rin Kim Law will support you and keep you informed every step of the way. We will gather all necessary documentation and evidence, update you on what the prospects of a successful claim are, quantify your potential range of compensation, handle all negotiations, and conduct legal proceedings on your behalf if a negotiated settlement is unable to be reached.

If you are injured in a workplace accident, you must immediately report the incident to your employer and seek review by a medical practitioner to confirm what injuries you have sustained. Employers (and their workers’ compensation insurer) often contest compensation claims where there is delay in reporting injury, delay in diagnosis and treatment or both. Documenting the circumstances in which you were injured and your injuries is essential in establishing your claim. Contact Rin Kim Law as soon as possible to arrange your complimentary and obligation- free consultation to discuss your situation.

Our team at Rin Kim Law can assist you in determining who is at fault in relation to your injury. Where necessary, we can conduct thorough investigations and review processes to determine who is likely at fault. Our goal is to ensure you receive compensation when another is at fault, regardless of the complexity of the liability issues.
