Frequently
Asked
Questions
Are there time limits in bringing a claim?
There can be. Time limits vary depending on the specifics of your case, including the date the negligence occurred or when the harm became apparent. If you miss these legal deadlines, you may lose your right to claim compensation altogether. Contact us immediately for a free case review to determine whether you are still within time to take action.
How long will my claim take?
Medical negligence claims can take anywhere from 3 months to 3 years. Some claims are resolved quickly once liability is established, while others may involve a lengthy process—including expert reports, insurer negotiations, and potentially court proceedings. The timeline depends on the complexity of your injury and the willingness of the medical provider or insurer to resolve the matter. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Do I need to pay a fee?
No. At accident legal, you don’t pay us a cent unless we win your case and secure compensation for you. We operate on a No Win, No Fee basis, giving you access to expert legal representation without upfront costs or financial risk. Our team is committed to transparency—we’ll explain your options clearly before you decide to proceed.
Can I claim if the treatment happened a long time ago?
Possibly. In some cases, the time limit to bring a medical negligence claim starts from the moment you first became aware of the injury or its connection to the treatment—not necessarily when the treatment occurred. This is known as the “date of discoverability.” If you’re unsure whether you’re out of time, speak to our team as soon as possible. We can review your circumstances and advise you on your legal options.
What if I signed a consent form before treatment?
Even if you signed a consent form, you may still have a valid claim. A consent form does not give medical professionals the right to provide negligent care. If the treatment fell below the standard expected of a reasonably competent practitioner, or you weren’t properly informed of the risks, you could still be entitled to compensation.
Do I need to pay a fee?
At accident legal, we believe everyone deserves access to justice—regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why we offer a No Win, No Fee arrangement for TPD and superannuation claims. This means you don’t pay us anything upfront.
You’ll only pay legal fees if we successfully win your case and secure compensation on your behalf. There are no hidden costs, and your initial consultation is completely free. We’ll explain all costs clearly from the beginning, so you can move forward with confidence—knowing we’re in your corner, fighting for the outcome you deserve.
