If someone's injured at work for the first time, there's often confusion about what to do, what rights and benefits they have, and where to seek help. Some of the more common questions we’re asked is, when do I need to see a lawyer? Do I need a lawyer? Should I seek advice from a lawyer?
Anyone who's injured at work should feel comfortable to approach a lawyer as soon as they're injured. Lawyers are not only there to advise about an individual's entitlements and fight for compensation, but we're also there to provide advice and recommendations so that the injured person is armed with the information they need throughout the course of their claim.
We can help with all stages of a WorkCover claim - right from helping to complete the initial claim form, through to the finalisation of compensation entitlements. We don't charge for that first appointment to find out about your WorkCover rights and we act on a no win, no fee basis. We only encourage you to proceed with a compensation claim if there are real prospects of success. If you've been injured at work, don't hesitate to reach out for a no obligation chat.
