Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I'm injured at work?
If you are injured at work, seek medical attention immediately and report the injury to your employer. Ensure any medical records are kept to document your injury. Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to discuss your workers’ compensation claim options and legal rights. The personal injury claim process must be started within strict time limits to claim compensation.
Does the workers' compensation insurer pay for WorkCover claims?
Yes, the workers’ compensation insurer pays for WorkCover claims, which cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, and income replacement benefits for injured workers. In Queensland, WorkCover insurance is mandatory for employers, enabling injured workers to receive compensation under the WorkCover scheme. Get in touch with one of our Gold Coast compensation lawyers, who can assist you with your claim process. In many cases, we can offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement for workplace personal injury law matters, which means you won’t need to pay any upfront legal costs.
Can I make an income protection or TPD claim instead of a workers' compensation claim?
Yes, you may be able to make an Income Protection or TPD (Total and Permanent Disability) claim instead of or in addition to a workers’ compensation claim or other type of compensation law claim, depending on your circumstances. These claims provide compensation for income loss or permanent disability. Seeking legal advice from experienced personal injury lawyers to determine your best course of action is the best place to start. They will be able to give you an idea of how much compensation you may be eligible for and what your options are aside from claiming workers’ compensation.
Am I entitled to workers' compensation if I work under an ABN?
In general, if you work under an ABN as a contractor, you are not covered by the workers’ compensation scheme. However, you may be entitled to claim personal injury compensation through public liability or common law claims if your injury was due to employer negligence. Seeking advice from a personal injury specialist about your situation will ensure you have the right information regarding your situation.
How long does the workers' compensation process take?
The workers’ compensation process in Queensland can take several months or years – depending on the complexity of your claim and the insurer’s assessment. The nature of your physical or psychological injury will also impact the timelines. You may need to provide medical evidence and undergo treatment. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help expedite the process and guide you through the legal steps.
How long does workers' compensation cover my expenses in Queensland?
Workers’ compensation in Queensland covers your medical treatment, rehabilitation and a portion of your lost income for as long as required under statutory benefits. However, compensation for future medical expenses may be available through lump sum settlements or common law claims if your injury is long-term or permanent.
Do I need to go to court for a work injury claim?
Not all work injury claims require court involvement. In many cases, workers can resolve their claims through negotiations or mediation. However, if a fair settlement isn’t reached, you may need to take legal action. Experienced workers’ compensation lawyers can guide you through the process and represent you in court if necessary.
What can workers' compensation cover in Queensland?
Workers’ compensation in Queensland covers medical treatment, rehabilitation and income replacement for injured workers. If your injury results in permanent disability, compensation for future medical expenses and a lump sum payment may be available. Legal assistance is essential to ensure you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to.
Who handles worker's compensation disputes on the Gold Coast?
Workplace injury disputes on the Gold Coast are typically handled by the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission or the WorkCover dispute resolution process. If your claim is disputed, a workers compensation lawyer can help you resolve the issue and pursue a successful outcome.
