Helping injured people in Woden

Woden Valley is home to the Woden town centre and Westfield Woden, Commonwealth and ACT Government offices, and Canberra Hospital in Garran, the ACT's major public hospital and trauma centre.

Because of the hospital, we see many medical negligence enquiries from the Woden area, alongside workplace injuries for health workers, public servants and retail staff, road accidents on Adelaide Avenue, Yarra Glen, Hindmarsh Drive and Athllon Drive, and slips and falls in the town centre.

Areas we cover here: Phillip (Woden town centre), Garran, Hughes, Curtin, Lyons, Chifley, Pearce, Torrens, Mawson, Farrer, Isaacs, O'Malley and Swinger Hill.

Medical negligence

If treatment at a hospital, GP or specialist fell below the accepted standard and caused you harm, you may be able to claim. These claims need an independent medical expert, and time limits apply.

Woden injury claim FAQs

Can I make a claim about treatment I received at Canberra Hospital?
Yes. Public hospitals can be responsible for negligent care in the same way as private hospitals and doctors. We obtain your records and an independent expert opinion to assess whether the care fell below standard and caused your injury. Generally you have three years to start a claim, with exceptions.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Woden 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.
