How Long After a Hip or Leg Accident Can I Make a Claim?
Time limits for filing work injury claims can differ depending on the laws in your region, so it’s crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible. It’s also important to report your work-related injury to both your employer and the workers compensation authority promptly, ideally within 30 days of the incident or once you become aware of the injury or illness.
Our expert work injury lawyers are here to guide you through the process and ensure you meet all necessary deadlines. Reach out to us at 1800 773 880 for assistance today.
Why Should I Work With a Workers Compensation Lawyer?
Navigating a hip, leg, or foot injury claim requires you to be vigilant and have the legal knowledge to get maximum compensation out of your suffering. You might get less compensation if you miss any critical details when submitting a claim on your own.
Wyatts Lawyers’ experienced workers compensation lawyers will:
- Ensure all your injuries, including psychological impacts, are thoroughly assessed
- Provide personalised advice tailored to your situation
- Handle negotiations with insurers to secure the maximum compensation
- Represent you in disputes or appeals if your claim is denied
- Work on your behalf so you can focus on your recovery
Having the right legal team ensures you achieve the best possible outcome.
How Long Will a Leg Injury Claim Take?
In Australia, the duration of a workers’ compensation claim can vary widely. On average, it can take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 years to resolve, depending on the complexity of the injury, medical disputes, and disagreements over liability. Straightforward claims may be settled within a few months, but more complicated cases could take much longer, potentially even years.
At Wyatts Lawyers, our leg injury lawyers will help you resolve the compensation matter quickly. We will assess your situation and give you a realistic estimation of how long the claim may take.
How Do No Win No Fee Lawyers Work?
Wyatts operates on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning you won’t pay legal fees unless your case is successful. This allows you to pursue your claim without financial risk. Always check what is covered under the No Win, No Fee agreement to avoid unexpected costs.
