Injured at work

Step 1 – Contact your employer and report the injury.

Step 3 – Complete a Work Injury Claim Form and lodge as soon as possible. There is a time limit to lodge a work injury claim form on your employer.

Injured at a motor vehicle accident

Step 1 – Report the motor vehicle accident within 28 days and note the event number. Motor vehicle accidents include car, motorcycle, truck, forklift and pedestrian accidents.

Step 2 – Seek your doctor’s opinion and request them to complete a Certificate of Capacity.

Step 3 – Complete the Personal Injury Benefits form.

Step 4 – Submit the Personal Injury Benefits form to the motor vehicle’s greenslip insurer. You must send it within 28 days if you are claiming statutory benefits for past loss of wages; if not, the time limit is 3 months.

Step 5 – Reach an experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer to know whether you are eligible to claim a lump sum payment which you may be entitled to in addition to the statutory benefits; the time limit is 3 years.

How long does the legal process take?

The length is not fixed; it is determined by a variety of factors, including how long it takes for your injuries to heal and the complexity of your case. Reach our lawyers today, and once our lawyers have a better understanding of your situation and expectations, we will be able to advise you of a plan and estimated time.
