If you have been injured at work, or as a result of work, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation under Queensland or Western Australia law.
Under the WorkCover scheme, injuries are usually assessed for the degree of permanent impairment of an individual. It’s important to obtain expert legal advice prior to any WorkCover impairment assessment, because failing to put forward a strong case at this assessment can severely impact your ability to maximise your entitlements.
If you are looking to make a WorkCover impairment claim, seek legal advice from an expert as soon as possible after your injury to ensure your rights are looked after.
