If you have been injured in a road accident, at work, in a public or other place or whilst receiving medical treatment, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation, sometimes called “common law damages”.
​
You may also have life or other insurance, including through your superannuation fund.
There are strict time-limits which apply to all compensation law claims. We suggest you contact us at the earliest opportunity so that we can properly advise you on these.
