Are you having issues with your WorkCover claim? Perhaps it has been rejected for some reason and you would like some advice and support? If you have experienced a disappointment with Workcover payments for workers compensation the next step is to get a second opinion. You can contact a personal injury lawyer who will be able to advise you for free and assist with your claim.
In some cases workers are on WorkCover for a long period of time and their injury does not heal fully as expected resulting in a permanent impairment. When this happens a further claim can be presented and seeking legal advice is advised.
In addition to a statutory claim, quite often workers are also entitled to a common law claim. A common law claim can be sought where negligence was present by employer or fellow worker that led to the injury occurring; or if reasonable steps were not taken to prevent the injury from occurring. In order to file a common law claim the services of a personal injury lawyer are required.
When you receive an offer of a lump sum payment i.e. from WorkCover it is strongly advised that you seek legal advice before you accept the offer of compensation. Once you sign WorkCover's acceptance form you will be prevented from making a common law claim. A common law claim could be worth thousands of dollars more to you in compensation and assist you in moving your life forward.
At Legal Compensation we have lawyers that can take your case on a no win no fee basis. This means there are no up-front or ongoing costs to worry about. If you believe you have a good claim we will help you fight for the maximum compensation available.
Do be aware that there are time limits that apply to compensation claims. It is better to seek legal advice sooner rather than later to ensure that you do get the compensation that is legally and rightfully yours. By getting advice early on you can ascertain all your entitlements early on and know where you stand legally.
