• What are the time limits for injury compensation?

  Compensation law covers a wide range of personal injury matters. When a person suffers physically or psychologically, or dies due to someone else’s negligent actions, a compensation claim can be made. Personal injuries are many and varied, occurring under different circumstances, with the law categorising personal injuries accordingly. For example, vehicle accidents and workplace injuries are overseen by laws specific to the circumstances. These laws outline rules and requirements for each type of claim, including set time frames in which an injured person is eligible to make a claim. This is known as the ‘statute of limitations’, and if a claim is not made within this time frame the potential litigant can become ‘statute barred’.
