Frequently asked questions
What you need to know about personal injury claims
Who can make a personal injury claim?
If you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful action, you may be eligible for compensation.
While each case is unique, generally you might have a valid claim if:
- You’ve been injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault
- You’ve suffered an injury at work due to unsafe conditions or practices
- You’ve received substandard medical care resulting in harm
- You’ve been injured in a public place due to hazardous conditions
- You’ve been harmed by a defective product
- You’ve suffered abuse in an institutional setting.
Time limits apply to personal injury claims, known as the statute of limitations. These time limits vary depending on the type of claim and the state or territory where the incident occurred. That’s why it’s crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible after an injury.
Even if you’re unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to contact us for a free consultation. Our experts can assess your situation and advise on the best course of action.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Time limits for filing a personal injury claim vary depending on the type of claim and the state or territory where the incident occurred. In general:
- For most personal injury claims, you have three years from the date of the incident
- For medical negligence, it’s typically three years from when you become aware of the negligence
- For child abuse cases, there is often no time limit.
However, these are general guidelines and exceptions exist. We recommend reaching out to a GMP Law personal injury lawyer, so we can guide you through the process and advise of the applicable statute of limitations in your case.
How much personal injury compensation will I get from a claim?
Compensation varies greatly from case to case, and in between states. Factors that influence the payout include:
- The severity and long-term impact of your injuries
- Your age and life expectancy
- Your earning capacity before and after the injury
- The degree of fault of the other party.
Compensation is meant to help you recover and support you financially if you’re unable to work and earn money. Your insurer or the courts will look at your needs and the evidence presented to determine how much compensation you should be awarded.
Our experts will provide a detailed estimate based on your specific circumstances and our experience with similar cases.
How long does the claims process take?
The duration of a personal injury claim can vary significantly.
Simple cases might be resolved in a few months, while more complex cases can take a year or more. Factors that affect the timeline include:
- The complexity of the case and the evidence required
- The severity of your injuries and
recovery time - The willingness of the other party to negotiate
- Whether the case goes to court.
We strive to resolve cases as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive maximum compensation. When you sign on with GMP Law, we endeavour to keep you informed of timelines and next steps throughout the process.
Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases at GMP Law (around 98%) settle out of court. We have strong negotiation skills and aim to reach a fair settlement without the need for a trial.
However, if the other party is unwilling to offer a satisfactory settlement, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court. Our experienced litigators will guide through the process and vigorously represent your interests before a judge.
What if I can’t afford a lawyer?
What types of compensation can I claim?
Depending on your case, you may be able to claim compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Home modification and care costs
Our team at GMP Law will work to ensure all applicable types of compensation are included in your claim.
Can I claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes, you still may be able to claim compensation even if you were partially at fault. Australia operates under a comparative negligence system, which means your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you.
We can advise you on how this might apply to your specific case.
