Labour Hire Injury Claims In Queensland

Support For Workers Placed By An Agency

When you’re injured at a business your agency placed you with, it’s not always clear who is responsible. Worse still, your shifts may stop, but the bills don’t.

We’ll explain what you may be entitled to, who may be accountable & what steps you can take next.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Two Businesses, Two Responsibilities

Your agency is usually your employer, while the host business controls the site where you work. Both may owe you a duty of care.

We’ll assess each one’s role & pursue every party that may be accountable.

Labour Hire Or Recruitment?

A labour hire agency usually stays your employer. A recruitment agency usually places you directly with a business, which then becomes your employer.

We’ll work out who employed you, so your claim is made against the right party.

Unsafe Host Workplaces

Host businesses are generally required to keep labour hire workers as safe as their own staff.

We’ll examine whether the host met its safety obligations.

Act Before Your Placement Ends

Labour hire claims have strict time limits, and evidence can be harder to gather once your placement ends.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and secure evidence from the host site.

No Win, No Fee

Focus On Healing, Not Legal Fees

Rin Kim Law provides No Win, No Fee services for eligible labour hire & recruitment agency injury claims. You’ll only pay our professional fees if your case succeeds.

We bear the risk, so you can move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your agency is usually your employer for WorkCover purposes, but the host business may also be responsible if unsafe conditions contributed.

Possibly. A common law claim may be made against both, depending on what each did or failed to do.

A labour hire agency usually remains your employer. A recruitment agency places you with a business that then employs you directly.

You may still be able to claim, even if the placement lasted only days.

That’s common. We assess each party’s role & pursue the claim against whoever may be responsible.

WorkCover benefits don’t depend on fault. In a common law claim, damages may be reduced to reflect your share of responsibility.

Not necessarily, but with two businesses involved, legal support can help you pursue both effectively.

Yes. Rin Kim Law provides No Win, No Fee services for eligible labour hire & recruitment agency injury claims. We’ll explain the terms & eligibility before you decide whether to proceed.
