Common questions

Answers, before you pick up the phone

In most cases, you have two years from the accident or the date you became aware of your injury. Exceptions may apply, so seek advice promptly.

Most claims must first be submitted to the Injuries Resolution Board. We can prepare the application and guide you through the process.

Helpful evidence may include medical records, photographs, witness details, accident reports, receipts and proof of any financial losses.

The timeframe depends on the circumstances, the evidence required and whether liability or the assessment is disputed.

Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through assessment, mediation or negotiation. Court proceedings may be required if an agreement cannot be reached.
