Helping injured people in North Canberra

North Canberra takes in the city centre and the inner north: Civic, Braddon and the Northbourne Avenue corridor, the Australian National University in Acton, and established suburbs like Ainslie, O'Connor, Lyneham and Dickson. Light rail runs along Northbourne Avenue, and the ACT courts are in the city.

Busy streets, cafes, bars and offices mean we see pedestrian and cyclist accidents, slips and falls in shops, venues and car parks, and workplace injuries for hospitality workers, office and public service staff, university staff and construction workers on the many apartment projects along Northbourne Avenue.

Areas we cover here: Civic (City), Braddon, Turner, Reid, Campbell, Ainslie, Acton, O'Connor, Lyneham, Dickson, Downer, Hackett and Watson.

Pedestrian, cyclist and public place injuries

Pedestrians and cyclists hit by a vehicle can claim under the ACT motor accident scheme. If you were hurt by a hazard in a shop, venue or car park, you may have a public liability claim against the occupier.

North Canberra injury claim FAQs

I was hit by a car while cycling in the city. Can I claim?
Usually, yes. Cyclists and pedestrians injured by a motor vehicle in the ACT can claim benefits under the Motor Accident Injuries scheme, and may have a common law claim if the driver was at fault and the injuries are serious. Report the accident to police and get advice early.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in North Canberra 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.
