Workplace Injury Claims
You are entitled to make a claim for compensation for injuries sustained during the course of your employment.
How we can help
For the working class in the Indian community, it is important to know that you are entitled to make a claim for compensation for injuries sustained during the course of your employment. This is regardless of whether you are paid in cash.
When bringing a claim for a work related injury it is important to note that you are not suing the employer directly, but rather suing the employer's insurance company which is in most cases, WorkCover Queensland. It is your right as an injured worker to bring a claim for any injury sustained during the course of your employment.
As the Queensland Workers' Compensation system is highly regulated it is recommended that legal advice is sought at an early stage in order to ensure your rights are protected.
If injured during the course of employment, WorkCover will cover you for your loss of income, for the time taken off from work as a result of an injury.
Principal Solicitor of DD Lawyers has assisted many workers to achieve significant compensation settlements for various injuries.
If you have already lodged a claim for compensation with WorkCover Queensland for weekly benefits and payment of medical expenses, and you are offered lump-sum offer of compensation, you need to be aware that if you accept this offer it will prevent you from pursuing a claim for common law damages.
DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFER OF COMPENSATION FROM WORK COVER WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING an experienced personal injury solicitor!
You are entitled to make a workplace injury claim regardless of whether you are paid in cash or by other means. Your right to compensation is protected under Queensland law irrespective of your employment arrangement.
Our firm operates in such a way that it doesn't cost you anything to make a claim. We pay for all medical reports and any other associated expenses incurred throughout the course of running your claim. These expenses, as well as our professional fees, are then recovered from the insurance company following the successful conclusion of the claim. Essentially you are not out of pocket and if anything, we will be making sure that you get money from the insurance company.
More often than not, insurance companies will offer a bare minimum payout that may not even cover the cost of your medical expenses.
