Specialist legal support for ACC claims, reviews, and disputes
Why ACC Advice Matters
ACC is designed to support people injured in accidents, but the process is not always straightforward. Claims can be declined, payments reduced, or entitlements limited, often with little explanation. If this happens, legal advice helps you understand your rights and decide what to do next.
Whether you are challenging a decision or preparing for a review, we support you with clear, experienced advice and help you avoid common mistakes.

Questions We Often Get Asked About ACC Claims and Disputes
Why has my ACC claim been declined?
ACC may decline a claim due to lack of medical evidence, timing issues, or a belief that your injury is not covered under the law. We help you understand the decision and advise whether there is a basis to challenge it.
What is the ACC review process and how does it work?
If your claim has been declined or changed, you can apply for a formal review. This is where an independent reviewer considers your case. We assist by preparing your application, gathering supporting evidence, and representing you at the hearing.
Might I be eligible for weekly compensation if I cannot work?
You may be eligible if your injury prevents you from working and other conditions are met. We assess your situation, explain what compensation might apply, and help you apply if the criteria are met.
Do I need medical evidence for a review?
Strong medical evidence is often essential in ACC disputes. We work with your treatment providers to ensure the right information is submitted and help clarify what is required for your specific situation.
Can you help if I have been dealing with ACC for a long time?
Yes. Many people come to us after delays, confusing communication, or multiple rejections. We help you understand where your claim stands and what steps are available to move it forward.
