When is the deadline for motor accident claim for statutory benefits?
The catalogue records a 3 months period from The date of the motor accident to which the claim relates. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 3 months
- Trigger
- The date of the motor accident to which the claim relates
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- s 6.13(3): a claim may be made after the required time if the claimant provides a full and satisfactory explanation for the delay AND either the claim is made within 3 years after the date of the motor accident, or the claim is in respect of the death of a person or an injury resulting in a degree of permanent impairment greater than 10 per cent. Not computed.
- Corrected on verification: the researched entry stated the late claim condition as a bare 3 year outer limit. s 6.13(3) is disjunctive on the second element: the 3 year cap does not apply where the claim concerns death or permanent impairment greater than 10 per cent. The separate 28 day consequence for weekly payments, which the researched entry recorded only as something to be checked, has been verified as s 6.13(2) and is captured as its own entry. s 6.13(4) supplies a further special period for certain claims under Div 3.4 where workers compensation has been payable. Section text verified verbatim against the current consolidation of the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 (NSW) on legislation.nsw.gov.au.
