Making a Motor Vehicle Claim

As a starting point, in Queensland and no matter whether you have been injured at work, or in a motor vehicle accident, or in a “slip and fall” type accident, you only have three years from the date of being injured to commence court proceedings. If court proceedings are not commenced within three years, then you will lose forever your legal rights to make a claim.

But depending on whether you were injured at work, or in a motor vehicle accident, or in a “slip and fall” type accident, the “three year limitation period” can be, and often is, altered because of the “pre-court” process which apply to each type of claim, work injury, motor vehicle and public liability. Whilst there are some similarities between the pre-court processes, there are many more subtle differences as to how each process operates.

Before you start a claim it is very important that you obtain advice from a solicitor who knows what they are doing, and who is used to dealing with insurers and their lawyers. Contact us for a free, no obligation discussion about your possible claim, to see where you stand.
