What is Workers Compensation?
If you are injured during your employment, there is legislation known as the 'Workers Compensation Act', which is designed to ensure you are compensated.
How Do You Obtain Worker's Compensation?
Quite often, in matters where there is no dispute, it is simply a matter of filling out a form with the employer, and the worker's compensation insurer will pay you weekly compensation benefits and medical expenses.
However, the worker's compensation insurer does not have to voluntarily make any payment to you concerning lump sum payments for permanent impairment on your body. Often, a dispute arises between the worker's compensation insurer and the injured worker regarding whether the worker is entitled to any worker's compensation benefits. If this should happen to you, you need to urgently obtain expert legal advice from a Solicitor.
How Long Does It Take?
Workers' compensation claims are dealt with quickly these days by the Workers Compensation Commission of New South Wales.
Depending on the complexity of your case, Gorman Jones Lawyers will have your matter listed for hearing eight to ten months from your initial instruction.
Often, your matter may be settled in a shorter time than eight to ten months.
Is It Worth My While to Make a Claim?
If you have been injured at work, you have potentially valuable rights.
Whilst what you obtain from a worker's compensation insurer under the Workers Compensation Act will never compensate you properly for an injury you have sustained at work, the damages you may recover are often significant.
