Why is getting early legal advice so important?
It is essential to get advice from a lawyer as soon as possible before the time limit expires. This allows time for obtaining necessary expert opinions and preparing court documents.
Once court documents are filed, the limitation period stops running.
Are there specific time limits for compensation claims in New South Wales?
Yes, there are, but they vary greatly depending on the type of claim you are making. Specific circumstances or changes in legislation could potentially affect these time limits, so seeking up-to-date legal advice is advisable for accurate guidance tailored to your situation.
Institutional Abuse
There is no time limit for survivors of child abuse to bring a claim. Adult victims of institutional abuse should seek legal advice promptly, as other factors may influence the timing.
Malicious Prosecution
Typically, claims must be filed within three (3) years of the malicious prosecution incident.
Medical Negligence
Generally, personal injury damages claims must be commenced within three (3) years of discovering the negligence. This is known as the limitation period, which usually starts when the injury occurs.
*Please note if you have a claim outside of NSW, different rules may apply, so please contact us directly.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Claims must be lodged within three (3) years of the accident. Early legal advice is crucial for gathering necessary evidence.
Professional Negligence
Claims should generally be brought within six (6) years of the negligent act or omission.
Public Liability
Claims must be initiated within three (3) years of the injury or damage occurring.
Workers Compensation
Claims should be made as soon as possible after the injury, with formal claims typically required within six (6) months.
Personal Injury
Similar to medical negligence, personal injury claims must be filed within three (3) years of the injury date.
TPD Claims
There is no specific statutory time limit for lodging TPD claims. However, it is crucial to check the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, as some policies may have their own time limits for filing claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim seeks compensation for injuries caused by another’s negligence or wrongdoing and is often managed by injury compensation lawyers. Many types of personal injury claims can be made, and NSW has its own legislation for each type of claim. Please speak to our compensation lawyers in Newcastle team about your matter so we can advise you on the best way to move forward to secure the compensation you deserve.
What is the legal process for filing a claim, and how long can it take for a claim to be finalised?
Making a claim involves gathering evidence, negotiations, and potentially court proceedings. The process can take from 6 months to years to finalise.
How are legal fees determined for 'No Win, No Fee' matters?
Legal fees for ‘No Win, No Fee’ matters are typically determined as a percentage of the compensation awarded if the case is successful. This percentage is agreed upon between the client and the lawyer before proceeding with the case. If the case is unsuccessful, the client generally pays no legal fees, although disbursements may still need to be covered.
Where is your Newcastle office located?
Our head office is centrally located in Newcastle’s Hunter region, at Suite 3, 24 Beaumont Street, Hamilton NSW 2303. If you cannot make it in to see our team of Newcastle lawyers in person, we can organise a telephone call, visit or discuss your matter over a video call.
