Making a claim in Maitland
Generally, cases should be made as soon as possible usually within three years of having your accident.
This time frame concrete as there are exceptions to the 36-month rule. The best way to find out whether or not you are entitled to reimbursement is to talk with a specialist at Australian accident helpline.

In general, the more serious your wounds, the longer the claims process will be. For some serious circumstances, it’s possible that they could take more than three years to settle.
How much can I get?

Some of the main things a solicitor will consider when negotiating your entitlement will include.
- Any time off work and lost earnings
- Any future lost earnings
- Any changes in your ability to work
- Care or support, even if given to you for free by family or friends
- Any adaptations you might need to your home or vehicle
- Travel and accommodation expenses
