How do I know if I have a workers compensation claim?
You may have a claim if you’ve been injured at work, while travelling for work, or developed a condition (physical or psychological) as a result of your employment. This includes employees, contractors and even some sub-contractors. We can quickly assess your situation and let you know where you stand.
How much compensation can I get from a workers compensation claim?
Workers compensation can include weekly payments, medical and treatment expenses, lump sum payments for permanent impairment, and in some cases common law damages (work injury damages). The total depends on the nature of your injury and its impact on your work and life.
What if my employer or insurer has said I don't have a claim?
Employers and insurers don’t always get it right. If you’ve been injured at work, it’s worth getting independent legal advice — even if your claim has been rejected or you’ve been told you’re not entitled. Many of our clients come to us after being knocked back.
How long will my workers compensation claim take?
In most states, if we take on your workers compensation claim, we act on a no win, no fee basis. In NSW, workers compensation legal costs are funded through the Independent Review Office (IRO) at no cost to you. We’ll explain exactly how costs work for your situation before you proceed.
How long will my motor vehicle accident claim take?
Some claims resolve quickly, particularly straightforward weekly payment and treatment claims. Lump sum and work injury damages claims can take longer — typically 12 to 24 months. We’ll guide you through the process and give you a realistic timeline.
