In Queensland, there are strict time limits that apply to making a personal claim. If you’re making a claim for an injury (or injuries) as part of a public liability claim, then you must notify the party that you consider them to be at fault within nine months of the injury occurring or within one month of your consultation with an accident lawyer, whichever of these is the earliest. These time limits are set by statutory law and are incredibly strict, so if you miss these time limits, you’ll have to provide a very good reason why your claim should proceed.
