Personal injury law in Australia is state-administered — each state runs its own no-fault CTP (motor accident) and workers compensation schemes alongside common-law claims for negligence. The relevant scheme is determined by where the injury occurred and how it was caused. Time limits are strict and vary by scheme; legal advice in the first 6 weeks materially improves outcomes.
Matter types we see most often in our intake from St Kilda and surrounding suburbs.
State-administered Compulsory Third Party schemes. NSW: Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 administered by SIRA / Personal Injury Commission. VIC: TAC. QLD: MAIC. Statutory benefits available regardless of fault for first 6 months; common-law damages require fault to be established.
No-fault statutory scheme — weekly payments, medical expenses, permanent impairment lump sums. Common-law work injury damages available where employer negligence caused injury and impairment threshold met (15% WPI in NSW).
Negligence claims against occupiers/operators of premises where an accident occurred. Civil Liability Acts in each state set caps, thresholds, and contributory negligence rules. Most matters settle pre-litigation.
High-complexity claims requiring expert evidence on standard of care, breach, causation and damages. Time limit 3 years from injury (longer for children). Specialist firm required.
Total & Permanent Disability claims against superannuation insurance policies. Policy-definition disputes are common; many TPD claims are initially denied and succeed on review.
Dust-disease claims, ADF compensation, victims-of-crime compensation — each has its own scheme with specific procedural requirements.
