Did you have an Accident at Work or During Work Hours?

A workplace injury can be difficult to deal with, especially if you rely on your employment to provide for your family and your livelihood.

If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you may be eligible for a worker’s compensation claim if your injury was caused in the course of employment and if your work duties significantly contributed to the injury.

Workers compensation (usually through WorkCover) can cover your initial medical treatment and rehabilitation. You can also claim any lost wages and these payments will usually continue until you have reached a maximum level of medical improvement.

If your employer was negligent in causing the injury then you may also make a damages claim against your employer.

Some of the most common work accidents can include

• Repetitive strain office injuries
• Mining accidents such as mining collapses
• Office injuries
• Sports injuries
• Work injuries in healthcare
• Vibration syndrome
• Machinery accidents
• Faulty equipment
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Falling, slip & trip accidents
• Fires or gas explosions
• Electrocution
• Chemical spillages and accidents
• Diseases from dust inhalation
• Noise-induced hearing loss
