What Is The Process For Going Through A Personal Injury Claim?
STEP ONE:
Get in touch with our personal injury lawyers in Brisbane or the Gold Coast to find out if you have a viable claim for compensation. We will assess your case and advise you as to whether it is appropriate to proceed with a WorkCover claim.
WorkCover operates as a ‘no-fault’ scheme in which compensation is provided for workers who have suffered injuries or illnesses in the usual course of duties. There are circumstances in which WorkCover will not provide compensation, such as injuries caused by serious and wilful misconduct, intentional injuries and self-inflicted injuries.
STEP TWO:
Prepare your action for work injury compensation. This will include gathering evidence, organising medical evidence and taking witness statements. We take care of all of this for you and will be by your side to explain the process in plain language.
STEP THREE:
Settle your claim or proceed to court. Most personal injury claims will be settled without having to go to court, but if the matter does proceed to this stage, our lawyers and solicitors have the experience to represent you confidently.
In most cases, your work accident claim will be settled through mediation prior to proceeding to court.
We understand that you may have recently been injured and may still be recovering, however, it is important to commence your claim for compensation as soon as possible after your workplace accident.
Medical reports and evidence needs to be gathered to support your claim and the more current the information is, the better for your claim.
We’re always here to help and you’re welcome to contact us if you have any questions about an injury.
