Journey Claims In Queensland

When Your Commute Ends In Injury

An injury on your way to or from work can leave you in pain, without your usual income & unsure what comes next. A crash, a fall or a cycling accident can turn an ordinary trip into a long road to recovery.

We’ll explain what you may be entitled to, including any separate claim against others who may be responsible.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

What Counts As A Journey

Travel between home & work, or to work-related training or medical appointments, may be covered.

We’ll confirm whether your trip qualifies & what that means for your claim.

Detours & Stops

A substantial detour or break unrelated to work can affect whether your journey is covered.

We’ll look closely at your route & any stops along the way.

Car Accidents On Your Commute

If another driver caused or contributed to the crash, you may also have a CTP claim alongside your WorkCover claim.

We’ll manage both claims together, so nothing falls through the gaps.

Lodge Your Claims Promptly

Journey & CTP claims have separate strict time limits, so early advice matters.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to explain your timeframes.

We’ll explain how they interact before you make any decisions.

Possibly. If another driver was at fault, you may have both claims, though payments from one may affect the other.

Generally not, as journey injuries don’t usually involve employer negligence. Other claims, such as CTP, may still apply.

Possibly. Travel to receive treatment for an accepted work injury may be covered.

You may still be covered. Journey claims aren’t limited to car travel.

Not necessarily, but when a crash is involved, legal support can help you manage both claims together.

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