How long does a claim normally take?

Each case is different, but Polaris works hard to make sure that your case is finished as quickly as possible.

Because you can only obtain lump sum compensation for your injuries once, the timing of your lump sum claim will depend on when your injuries stabilise. For this reason, many injuries claims take between 1 to 2 years to resolve.

This does not mean that you should wait to start your claim. There is plenty that Polaris can do to prepare your case and assist you in the meantime. For example, in motor vehicle accident claims, we can assist in getting you weekly wage payments and medical benefits in a matter of weeks.

In all our cases, Polaris begins preparing your case and will give you updated advice about whether your case is likely to succeed.

Polaris works hard to make sure that your claim is investigated and prepared while you focus on your recovery.
