Barrister sole practising family, employment and medical law, including ACC reviews and District Court appeals. A former registered nurse, she takes legal aid cases and appears in the Family Court, the Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court, and the District and High Courts.
New Zealand's ACC scheme covers most injuries instead of lawsuits: you generally can't sue for an injury ACC covers. Lawyers in this area help with ACC claims and with challenging ACC decisions through review and appeal.
Generally not for an injury that ACC covers — the ACC scheme replaced that right. You may be able to sue if your injury isn't covered by ACC, and exemplary damages may be sought for particularly blatant or reckless conduct.
Yes. ACC can reconsider its decision, you can ask for an independent review, and review decisions can be appealed to the District Court.
