Helping injured people in Dickson

Dickson is the inner north's main shopping and dining hub, with the Dickson group centre, its supermarkets and well-known restaurant strip, offices, and a light rail stop on Northbourne Avenue. Surrounding suburbs like Downer, Watson and Hackett are mostly residential.

The claims we see from Dickson include workplace injuries in hospitality, retail and offices, slips and falls in shops, restaurants and car parks, and road accidents on Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and the Federal Highway, including pedestrians and cyclists near the light rail stop.

Areas we cover here: Dickson, Downer, Watson, Hackett, Ainslie, Lyneham and the Northbourne Avenue corridor.

Hospitality and retail work injuries

Kitchen burns and cuts, lifting injuries, slips on wet floors and repetitive strain are all covered by workers compensation, with no need to prove fault. Casual and part-time workers are covered too.

Dickson injury claim FAQs

I work casually in a Dickson restaurant. Am I covered by workers compensation?
Yes. Casual and part-time employees are covered by workers compensation in the same way as full-time staff. Your weekly payments are based on your average pre-injury earnings, which can be complicated for casual workers, so check the insurer has calculated them correctly.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Dickson cost?
We run personal injury claims on a no win, no fee basis. Your first conversation is free, there are no upfront fees, and if your claim is not successful you do not pay our professional fees. You get a written costs agreement before we start.
Is there a time limit to make a claim in the ACT?
Yes. The general time limit to start court proceedings for a personal injury in the ACT is three years, but many claims have much shorter deadlines for giving notice or lodging forms, especially workers compensation and motor accident claims. Get advice as early as you can.
