Helping injured people in Gungahlin

Gungahlin is one of Canberra's fastest-growing districts. New suburbs like Taylor, Throsby and Jacka mean a lot of construction work, and the light industrial area in Mitchell is home to trades, warehousing and transport businesses. Light rail runs from the Gungahlin town centre along Flemington Road to the city.

The claims we most often see from Gungahlin are construction and trades injuries (falls, machinery and manual handling), warehouse and forklift injuries in Mitchell, and road accidents on Horse Park Drive, Gundaroo Drive, Flemington Road and the Barton Highway, including pedestrians and cyclists around the town centre and light rail stops.

Areas we cover here: Gungahlin town centre, Amaroo, Bonner, Casey, Crace, Forde, Franklin, Harrison, Jacka, Moncrieff, Ngunnawal, Nicholls, Palmerston, Taylor, Throsby and Mitchell.

Construction and trades injuries

Building sites often involve a builder, subcontractors and a principal contractor. As well as workers compensation, there may be a common law claim against someone other than your employer.

Gungahlin injury claim FAQs

I was injured on a Gungahlin building site but I am a subcontractor. Can I still claim?
Often, yes. Some contractors are treated as workers for workers compensation, and you may also have a claim against the builder or principal contractor if they were negligent. The details of your contract and how you were paid matter, so get advice early.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Gungahlin 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.
