On 13 December 2012, Magistrate Peter Snopek ruled in favour of Pace Lawyers & Adelaide Legal\u2019s client (let\u2019s call him \u201cAndy\u201d) granting him more time to make a claim for personal injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident.<\/p>\n

Under South Australian law, a claim for a motor vehicle accident must be brought within 3 years of the date of the accident. However, a court could extend this time limit on application by a Plaintiff in certain circumstances. Prior to 2004, a Plaintiff could easily obtain such an extension by showing that they were not aware that they were suffering from certain injuries during the time they were supposed to make a claim. In 2004, the South Australian Parliament tightened these requirements, making it more difficult for a Plaintiff to obtain an extension.<\/p>\n

Andy suffered injuries from a motor vehicle accident that took place in 2005. He did not make a claim before the 2008 deadline. We met Andy in 2010 and, after hearing his story, concluded that he was likely suffering from psychological harm as well as physical injuries; a fact confirmed by a psychologist. It was on this basis that we applied to the Court for an extension of time.<\/p>\n

This application was vigorously opposed by the Defendant insurer\u2019s claims agent Allianz, but the Court was persuaded by our arguments and allowed Andy to make a claim against the insurer for both<\/em> his physical and psychological injuries. In doing so, the Court agreed with our argument that Andy\u2019s newly discovered psychological issues would have major significance on the calculation of Andy\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n

This judgment is a major victory for Andy as well as other injured parties and is just another example of our lawyers travelling that extra mile for our clients.<\/p>\n
