What kind of injuries can you claim for?
Generally, workers compensation schemes will compensate for:
- physical injury;
- psychiatric injury;
- diseases, such as asbestosis or black lung; and
- hearing loss.
You may also be eligible for common law damages if your work-related injury prevents you from returning to work or limits your capacity to resume your usual occupation.
Additionally, if your injury impacts your ability to work, you may be entitled to claim payments through your superannuation insurance. This is separate from any benefits through WorkCover or Comcare.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers can provide detailed advice on your rights and entitlements.
What can you claim?
If you are entitled to claim for damages at common law for your work-related injury, in most instances, your damages will be calculated to cover:
- pain, suffering and loss of life enjoyment;
- loss of past and future earning and associated superannuation;
- past and future hospital and medical expenses (including surgical costs);
- ongoing or future anticipated rehabilitation and treatment expenses;
- out-of-pocket expenses for items such as pharmaceutical, travel and equipment;
- paid care and help, for example, yard maintenance or nursing; and
- home and vehicle modifications.
Every case is unique, so we’ll provide guidance tailored to your circumstances.
