Time Limits on Compensation Claims – Why Acting Early Matters

Many compensation claims in Western Australia are subject to strict time limits. Missing a deadline can prevent you from pursuing compensation, even if your claim would otherwise be valid.

Timeframes vary depending on the type of claim and the age of the claimant.  

Why delays can be risky

People often delay legal advice hoping their condition will improve. Unfortunately, delays can lead to lost evidence, fading witness memories and missed deadlines.

Seeking advice early does not mean committing to legal action immediately. It simply ensures you understand your options, responsibilities and timeframes.

If you’re unsure whether you still have time to make a claim, early guidance can provide clarity and peace of mind.
