Injury Claims For Labourers & Tradies In Queensland

Support When Your Body Is Your Livelihood

Your trade depends on a body that can lift, climb & kneel all day. When an injury stops you from working, it can threaten your income & the career you’ve built.

If you’ve been injured through your trade, we’ll explain your options, including how the injury may affect your work & future earning capacity.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Injured On Different Sites

Tradies often move between homes, commercial sites & jobs run by others, which can make responsibility less clear.

We’ll work out who controlled the site & who may be accountable.

Apprentices & Young Tradies

An injury early in your career can affect years of future earnings, not just your current apprentice wage.

We’ll consider the career you were building when assessing your claim.

Wear & Tear From Years On The Tools

Knees, shoulders & backs can wear down after years of trade work, even without a single accident.

We’ll explain how gradual injuries may be covered.

Protect Your Trade Early

Tradie injury claims have strict time limits, and early advice can protect your options while you recover.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your time limits and talk through your options.

Key Things To Know About Tradie Injury Claims

01

Photograph The Job Site

If you can, take photos of the hazard, tools or conditions that caused your injury.

Job sites change quickly. These images can help show exactly what went wrong.

02

Self-Employed Tradies May Have Options

If you’re a sole trader, WorkCover may not cover you, but other claims could still be open.

We’ll explain what may be available, including a claim against whoever controlled the site.

03

Don't Push Through The Pain

Working on with an injury can make it worse & harder to link to the original incident.

See a doctor early. We’ll help you build a clear medical record.

04

Time Limits Matter

Tradie injury claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your employment arrangement, how the injury happened & the cover available. We’ll review your circumstances & explain the possible claim pathway.

Apprentices are generally covered by WorkCover, and a claim may consider your future earnings as a qualified tradesperson.

A homeowner or business may share responsibility if a hazard on their property caused your injury.

Possibly. Gradual injuries from repetitive trade work may be covered as over period of time injuries.

Your claim may include compensation for lost future earnings, particularly in a common law claim.

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