REDCLIFFE, Australia - AussieJournal -- If you've been involved in a car accident, it's important to understand how long you have to make a property damage claim.

Property damage claim time limits

Pursuant to the provisions of the Limitations of Actions Act 1974, Court proceedings must be filed in respect of any property damage claim arising out of the car accident within 6 years of the date of the accident.

Seek advice at an early stage

It is very important that advice be sought from a legal practitioner at an early stage following a car accident. This is particularly the case where there may be uncertainty regarding the identity of the vehicles involved in the accident and the potential at fault party.  Rights to claim may be lost where time limits to lodge claims are not met.
