What is Compensation Law?
Compensation law encompasses various legal practices designed to help individuals receive fair treatment, rehabilitation, and compensation for injuries or losses due to the unlawful actions or negligence of another. Unfortunately, while it is an option to do so, self-represented claimants often end up undercompensated when dealing directly with insurance companies. We offer compensation law services, led by an accredited Queensland Law Society specialist in personal injuries, to help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes from circumstances of unfortunate adversity. If you are pursuing an injury claim for a workplace accident, a road traffic incident, or an injury sustained in a public place, our legal team is available and ready to guide you through every technical step.

How long do I have to file a compensation claim?
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.
