ACC specialist lawyers who can help with your dispute

The ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) are responsible for providing personal injury cover and compensation for eligible residents in the event of accidental injury. This includes cover for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support for people who are unable to work as a result of their injury.


What happens though if you're denied compensation and you'd like to challenge the decision? Usually, there are two paths to take, being:
 

1. You can ask the ACC for an administrative review. This is otherwise known as an internal review by the ACC. This can be a lengthy and stressful route and usually you'd need to manage the process without lawyers. 


2. You can discuss your case with lawyer (with mediation potentially to follow) to understand whether you have a case and if so, receive advice for the best path forward to claim what's rightfully yours from the ACC dispute.
