Each state and territory in Australia have its claim time limits, which vary depending on where your vehicle accident occurred in the country and the kind of personal injury claim you’re bringing. These might range from one month (in Queensland and the ACT) to up to 12 years following car accidents (NSW).
The sooner you file a claim, the faster your insurer may begin paying your bills and accident-related costs. However, it can take some time to formulate a claim that reasonably describes a car accident’s effects on you. Therefore, while it is essential to meet your motor vehicle claim deadline, you also need to give yourself enough time for your injuries and problems to be thoroughly assessed and considered.
