If you have been injured at work or on the way to work, you may be entitled to receive worker’s compensation for your injuries. Your employer has insurance for these workers’ compensation claims that can help cover your wages, medical and rehabilitation and expenses, and access benefits that sit under the workers’ compensation scheme. Consulting with workers compensation lawyers in Brisbane can be a crucial step in this process. As a team of expert personal injury lawyers in Brisbane, we specialise in navigating the complexities of workers' compensation laws, ensuring that you receive the full range of benefits and compensation you're entitled to for your injury.
If you have been injured at work or suffered a work-related illness, you can seek workers’ compensation for those injuries or illnesses through the WorkCover insurance provider.

You may also be entitled to a further lump sum compensation payout.

It is important to have a free chat with a lawyer to determine if making a compensation claim is an option for you
If you are concerned about the security or stability of your job, then know this: it is illegal for an employer to terminate your employment on the grounds of you making a workers’ compensation claim.
Further to this, you are likely to experience a significant disadvantage in the open labour market because of your injuries. Making a claim is the reason that we have workers’ compensation insurance. We must hold negligent employers accountable for their actions and any injuries you have suffered at work because of an unsafe workplace, unsuitable supervision, or unsafe equipment. Because at the end of the day, you should be able to go to work and return home free of injury and pain.
