Everyone should feel safe at their workplace and work in a healthy environment.

Workers’ compensation is set up to protect workers from potentially harmful, unplanned and critical situations that can arise in the workplace.

If you have a work-related injury or illness, you may be able to claim compensation for lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses, domestic assistance, pain and suffering and permanent impairment.

All employers are required to have workers compensation insurance which provides protection to workers who suffer work-related injury or illness.

The area of workers compensation has been highly regulated leading to an overly complicated legal system. Our experienced team of personal injury lawyers can assist you navigate the system and maximise your compensation.

Injuries in the workplace are usually thought to occur in more dangerous and physically demanding jobs, however they can happen in any workplace and can occur from:

• Falling debris
• Fall from heights
• Injuries from lifting, especially heavy lifting
• Repetitive injuries
• Slip and fall accidents
• Working with unsafe equipment
• Bullying and harassment

If you find yourself injured or if you become ill from hazards in the workplace, you could be entitled to financial compensation. This can help to ease the emotional, psychological and economic stress if you are unable to work for a short or longer period of time, and any long-term suffering you may experience.
