Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Missing Guards & Safety Devices

Machines without proper guarding, emergency stops or safety switches can expose you to serious harm.

We’ll examine whether the machine met safety standards at the time of the accident.

Maintenance & Training Failures

Poorly maintained equipment or inadequate training can turn routine work into a serious accident.

We’ll look at whether your employer took reasonable steps to keep you safe.

Lockout & Isolation Procedures

Many injuries happen when a machine starts unexpectedly during cleaning or repairs.

We’ll review whether proper isolation procedures were in place & followed.

Preserve The Evidence Quickly

Machinery accident claims have strict time limits, and machines may be repaired or modified soon after an incident.

Record any missing guards, faults or earlier complaints about the machine.

We’ll use these details to show whether the risk was already known.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. An accepted WorkCover claim can provide benefits, and a common law claim may also be possible if safety failures contributed.

Missing or inadequate guarding may point to your employer’s negligence, which could support a common law claim.

You may still be able to claim, especially if isolation procedures weren’t in place or followed.

You may be able to claim against that company as well, for example if it hired out the machine in an unsafe condition or failed to maintain it properly.

It depends on the injury, your treatment needs, earnings & how the loss affects your future work.

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

Not necessarily, but machinery claims often involve serious injuries & complex safety evidence, so legal support can be especially valuable.

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