Construction Accident Claims In Queensland

Support After An Injury On Site

Construction work is physically demanding, and one accident on site can change everything. A fall, a dropped load or a machine fault can leave you unable to work in the trade you know.

We’ll explain what you may be able to claim, & from whom.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Many Parties On One Site

Building sites often involve a principal contractor, subcontractors & labour hire firms, any of whom may share responsibility.

We’ll make sure every responsible party is considered, not only your employer.

Safety Rules Exist For A Reason

Missing guardrails, unsafe scaffolding or poor supervision can point to a breach of safety obligations.

We’ll examine whether these failures support a claim for damages.

If You're A Subcontractor

Self-employed workers & sole traders may not be covered by WorkCover in the same way as employees.

We’ll explain how your work arrangement affects your options.

Secure Site Evidence Early

Construction claims have strict time limits, and site conditions can change quickly once work moves on.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and help preserve the evidence your claim relies on.

Key Things To Know About Construction Accident Claims

01

Report The Incident On Site

Make sure the accident is recorded in the site incident register.

That record can be key evidence later. We’ll request a copy for you.

02

Photos Can Make A Difference

If you can, photograph the area, equipment or hazard involved, or ask a co-worker to.

Site conditions change quickly. We’ll use your photos to support your claim.

03

Labour Hire Workers Can Claim Too

If an agency placed you on site, both the agency & the host business may share responsibility.

We’ll pursue every party that may be accountable.

04

Time Limits Matter

Construction accident 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 outline the timeframes that apply.
