What to know about Personal injury lawyers
There is no single Australian personal injury system. What you can claim, who pays it and how long you have depends on how you were hurt and which state you were hurt in. A road accident in New South Wales runs through the compulsory third party scheme regulated by the State Insurance Regulatory Authority; the same crash in Victoria runs through the Transport Accident Commission; Queensland has its own compulsory third party scheme and its own pre-court procedure under the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002.
