Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Your WorkCover Benefits

An accepted WorkCover claim may provide weekly payments, medical & rehabilitation costs, and in some cases a lump sum for permanent impairment.

We’ll check that you’re receiving every payment & benefit your claim allows.

A Possible Common Law Claim

A common law claim lets you seek compensation from your employer if their negligence caused or contributed to your injury. It’s separate from WorkCover and may include additional losses, such as pain & suffering or future loss of earnings.

We’ll assess whether this option is open to you & guide you through it.

Before You Accept A Lump Sum

In some cases, accepting a lump sum offer can affect your right to make a common law claim.

We’ll explain your choices before you sign anything.

Early Advice Protects Your Options

Workers’ compensation claims have strict time limits, & some choices can’t be reversed.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to explain your options and the time limits that apply.

Key Things To Know About Workers' Compensation Claims

01

Report Your Injury Promptly

Tell your employer about your injury as soon as possible, and see a doctor.

Early records help support your claim. We’ll check that everything is in order.

02

You Can Usually Choose Your Own Doctor

You can generally see a doctor you trust, rather than one chosen by your employer.

Consistent medical records strengthen your claim. We’ll help you bring them together.

03

Return To Work Plans Should Suit Your Recovery

A return to work plan should reflect what your doctor says you can safely do.

If the plan doesn’t feel right, we’ll help you speak up.

04

Time Limits Matter

Workers’ compensation claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to set out a clear timeframe for your claim.

A WorkCover claim can pay benefits regardless of fault. A common law claim can pay damages only if your employer’s negligence caused or contributed to your injury.

Possibly. Queensland’s workers’ compensation scheme may cover some injuries during your journey to or from work.

You may be able to claim against both the labour hire company & the host employer, depending on what happened.

Some large employers manage their own claims. Your core rights stay the same, and we can deal with them on your behalf.Some large employers handle workers’ compensation claims themselves, rather than through WorkCover Queensland.
