Back and spinal injury compensation FAQs.

Back and spinal injuries often result in time off work to recover, and in more serious cases can prevent you from returning to your job. But compensation can be a real lifeline to cover your lost wages, treatment and care expenses. In more serious cases lump sums may also be available to cover the ongoing costs you’ll incur.

If your back injury was the result of an accident, repetitive strain or wear and tear injury at work, weekly payments are available to cover your lost wages and treatment expenses. You may also be entitled to lump sums for permanent impairment and work injury damages.

The Victorian TAC scheme provides compensation to anyone injured in a motor accident in Victoria. Compensation payouts for back injuries can be significant, and may include lump sums for more serious injuries.

If back injuries are a known inherent risk of a sport or activity, they may not qualify for compensation. However, if the back injury was due to faulty equipment or facilities, or caused by someone failing in their duty of care to you, then you may have a valid claim.

Both he and Emily were always professional, compassionate, and responsive, making sure I felt supported and informed every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for the care and expertise they provided. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients, Gerald, Emily, and the team at Law Partners are exceptional.

I was honored to work with Law Partners and to have met Ajla. She helped me with previous employment issues that were very stressful. She was very generous with her time and was always caring and compassionate. And she really strived to get us the end result we desired and had thought was near impossible. She and Law Partners renewed our faith in the Legal System and humanity in general. Thank you Ajla.

I Toni Bailey would highly recommend law partners to any one wishing to make a compensation claim I dealt with Jacob who got the very best outcome for my case. From start to finish he was a pleasure to work with and made it easy for me to make my claim for the maximum amount.

Dealing with law partners has been a pleasure. I asked them if I had a TPD claim and we went through the process and they found an Income Protection claim in the process and as professional as they are they were both approved. Now my standard of living has improved for many years to come and I could not recommend Katelyn and Sia enough. I am one very happy client 5 star performance thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Rhiannon Templeton when she represented me for a work cover compensation claim. Her level of knowledge and professionalism were both outstanding. She was extremely supportive throughout the whole process and made me feel very comfortable and completely in the loop through each stage. The outcome was beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend seeking her legal advice for any work cover related advice or representation.

I was walking to work when a car ran a red light and crashed into me. I would have been lost without my solicitor to guide me through the claims process and help me uncover all my entitlements that I may have missed out on. I’m so grateful I had my claim checked!
