In Canberra, we frequently handle personal injury claims resulting from:

• Government workplace incidents, including injuries within parliamentary offices, government buildings, and public sector workplaces across the city
• Institutional claims, related to educational, healthcare, and other public institutions in the region, including Canberra’s many schools, universities, and hospitals
• Vehicle accidents, occurring on Canberra’s urban roads, busy intersections, and the major routes leading to surrounding areas like Queanbeyan or the South Coast
• Workplace safety claims, particularly in the public sector, as well as specialised industries such as defence and research facilities
• Public liability claims, involving injuries in public spaces, government-owned facilities, or events held across the city.

With our local knowledge and a proven track record in handling these types of claims, we provide you with a distinct advantage in securing the compensation you deserve.

In the ACT:

• Most personal injury claims must be lodged within 3 years of the incident
• Workers’ compensation claims have different timeframes and may need to be lodged sooner.

It’s important to act swiftly, as exceptions may apply. For timely advice, contact our Canberra office.

• Unique administrative and legal frameworks, including specific regulatory standards and legal processes tailored to the public sector and government-related claims
• Professional service-oriented economy, where many claims stem from office environments, educational institutions, and medical settings.
