Under the Workers’ Compensation & Injury Management Act (WCIM Act) you are entitled to receive statutory compensation from your employer if you are injured at work. You will receive weekly statutory compensation payments according to the severity of your injuries, and you may be awarded an additional amount if you are permanently or temporarily unable to work. In some cases, your medical, travel and rehabilitation expenses will be covered, and depending on your personal circumstances, you may also be eligible for additional lump sum compensation.

If your injury has been caused by the negligence of your employer or a third party, you may be able to bring a claim for common law damages. In the event liability is accepted or proven, you could be awarded compensation to cover the following areas.

Pain, suffering and loss of amenities
Past loss of earnings
Future loss of earning capacity
Hospital, medical, physiotherapy and pharmaceutical expenses
Travel expenses for attending medical and treatment appointments
Professional nursing services and care from friends and family may also be covered.

There are statutory restrictions on common law claims against employers. You will need to complete a range of assessments to demonstrate your case meets certain eligibility criteria. Our workers’ compensation lawyers will be able to advise whether your claim should be pursued.

Worker’s Compensation Claim Procedure

We will be able to finalise your claim when your medical condition has stabilised, and the necessary evidence has been collected. The general procedure is to arrange an informal discussion to see whether a settlement can be negotiated. It is likely that a reasonable settlement can be achieved during informal negotiations. If a settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial where we can continue to represent you.

Our Legal Fees

During your initial consultation, we will thoroughly explain our legal fee structure. In many cases, there are no upfront costs to be paid and we will endeavour to negotiate a settlement that will cover most of your out-of-pocket expenses and legal fees.
