About ACC and injury law in New Zealand
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.
- Under the ACC scheme you generally can't sue in court for an injury that ACC covers.
- If your injury isn't covered by ACC and someone else caused it, you may be able to sue them for damages.
- Even where ACC covers an injury, exemplary damages may be sought for particularly blatant or reckless conduct.
Common questions about ACC and injury lawyers in Tauranga
Can I sue someone for an injury in New Zealand?
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.
Can I challenge an ACC decision?
Yes. ACC can reconsider its decision, you can ask for an independent review, and review decisions can be appealed to the District Court.
