ACC Advocacy Services

Regina Posorski

(LLM, MBA)

If you're struggling with an ACC decision after injury or medical treatment and are unsure what to do next, I offer assistance through the process.

I can help you understand your options in order to protect your rights. You receive guidance and representation through the process. All communications with ACC and the reviewer are taken off your shoulders. You can make informed decisions about the next steps available to you.

ACC matters include -

  • Cover for injuries caused by an accident, work, or medical treatment.

  • Entitlements to funding of medical treatments including surgery.

  • Entitlements to weekly compensation, including suspension and backdated weekly compensation.

  • Any other entitlements available under the Accident Compensation Act 2001.

When your work or career is at stake due to injury, know your rights regarding available entitlements.

Independent ACC advocacy for anyone facing difficult decisions about injury cover and entitlements.

Discuss your ACC matter.

When injury suddenly hits, protect your rights.

Information and guidance of what is and what is not available under the Accident Compensation Act 2001 to help with recovery.

When ACC declines your claim, exercise your rights.

Assistance and representation throughout the ACC review process.

From Possibility to Reality

  • Don’t put up with injury without taking action. See your doctor, get the injury assessed, and in case of a diagnosis, request that a claim with ACC is lodged. ACC needs to receive a claim before it can make a decision. Anything you need from ACC requires a claim to be lodged; ACC does not automatically provide cover. ACC must not provide cover or any entitlements without a claim. This is how the ACC law is designed. Therefore, lodge a claim - even if unsure.

  • Your health is everything. Protect it. Remember that you need a fully functional body for the rest of your life. Stoicism is widespread in New Zealand but when it comes to ACC claims, this is not rewarding and often, it is ‘not alright’. The longer you wait, the more ACC interprets this as evidence that the injury was not caused by the accident. Lag times between accident and claim lodgment can have a detrimental effect on your ACC claim, even if the law allows for 12 months. Don’t gamble with your cover and entitlements. Your quality of life is at stake. It is entirely irrelevant whether the accident was your fault or whether negligence was involved. Lodge a claim with ACC as soon as possible and get peace of mind.

    I assist you with the process.

  • Seek help when ACC declined. Sometimes, ACC does not get it right. The law provides a process to review an ACC decision. This is your opportunity to take the chance and get ACC’s decision overturned in your favor.

    Exercise your rights available under the accident compensation scheme.

Do you need help with ACC? Did ACC decline cover for your injury and even funding of treatment or weekly compensation?

Do you feel ACC made the wrong decision but you are unsure how to challenge this decision?

Or you may have an ongoing claim which is not progressing for months?

I can assist you and help you in a time when it matters most. Being injured imposes stress and extra challenges. ACC assists in many cases and helps New Zealanders with treatment and recovery.

However, sometimes, ACC declines claims for medical or legal reasons and it appears unfair or even wrong. I can help you and represent you in the review process.

I have successfully assisted many kiwis to get ACC cover and entitlements. It is not always a straightforward matter, for example sport injuries, consequential injuries, work injuries, or treatment injuries can be complex; however, you can leave it to me to represent you throughout the process. I communicate with ACC and the reviewer on your behalf, so you don’t have to put up with the extra stress of the review process.

Sometimes, new medical evidence is necessary to show that you should have cover and entitlements. I am taking all of this off your shoulders and free up your time and resources so you can focus on your recovery. Let me help you to get ACC cover and entitlements. I am here for your support, guidance, and representation.
