A work injury does not just mean suffering physical harm in the workplace. For example, a work injury can be stress related whereby you are suffering symptoms of depression, anxiety and sleeplessness.
If you have sustained a workplace injury you may be entitled to the following:
- Workers' Compensation Benefits;
- Medical and Rehabilitation Expenses;
- Lump Sum Compensation;
- Common Law Damages.
You should also be aware that:
- If you have sustained an injury whilst traveling to or from your workplace, then you may have rights to compensation at law, ie. in negligence, trespass, motor vehicle accident claims, public liability claims etc.
- Even though you may be termed an independent contractor, contractor or sub-contractor by the party engaging your services when your work injury occurred, it may be the case that you have rights to claim for Workers' Compensation and/or Common Law Damages.
At Accident Law, we have a team of solicitors who can assist with your enquiries.
Strict time limits apply in relation to lodging your claim for Compensation and which may result in you not being able to proceed with your claim. It is therefore imperative that you do not delay in investigating your claim rights and ensuring that your rights are protected.
