In New South Wales, you generally have three years from the date of the incident to file a public liability claim. However, it’s crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible after the incident. Some circumstances may allow for extensions, but it’s best not to delay. Early action ensures better preservation of evidence and witness recollections.
