Psychological Injury Claims In Queensland

Support After A Traumatic Experience At Work

A psychological injury is every bit as real as a physical one. After a traumatic event at work, sleep, focus or even the thought of going back can feel overwhelming.

We’ll take the time to listen & explain what you may be entitled to.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Traumatic Events At Work

Witnessing a serious accident, facing violence or being threatened on the job can leave lasting psychological harm.

We’ll help show WorkCover how the event has affected your health & ability to work.

After A Physical Injury

A serious physical injury can lead to depression or anxiety as you cope with pain & lost independence.

We’ll help ensure this secondary injury is considered in your claim.

How These Claims Are Assessed

Psychological injury claims have a higher threshold than physical ones. Work generally needs to be the main cause, and injuries from reasonable decisions by your employer, such as a fair performance review, are usually excluded.

We’ll give you an honest view of how these rules apply to you.

Seek Support Early

Psychological injury claims have strict time limits, and early medical support can help both your recovery & your claim.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to explain the time limits and what happens next.
