Injury & Compensation
Workers compensation lawyers help injured workers claim weekly payments, medical costs and lump sums.
Workers compensation is run by each state, plus Comcare for Commonwealth employees. A lawyer can help when a claim is disputed, payments stop, or you may be entitled to a lump sum for permanent impairment or a common law claim.
Workers compensation replaces income and pays medical costs while you recover. Disputes about liability or capacity are common and can be challenged.
Each state has its own scheme, such as icare in NSW and WorkSafe in Victoria, with Comcare covering many Commonwealth employees. Access to lump sums and common law damages depends on the level of permanent impairment.

Understand the next step
Identify the employer, work location and any claim number or decision. A workplace injury can raise questions about the applicable scheme, treatment, work capacity and responses to insurer decisions.
Confirm whether related employment advice is included or requires a separate adviser.
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.

Good to know
Dismissing a worker because of a work injury claim can be unlawful. Get advice quickly if it happens.
You pay the lawyer's professional fees only if the claim succeeds. You may still be responsible for costs such as medical reports, and in some cases the other side's costs, so ask for a written costs agreement.
Simple claims can settle within months. Claims involving serious injuries usually wait until your condition has stabilised so the full impact can be assessed, which can take a year or more.
