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.

Shanelle's story

Shanelle's story

When department manager and devoted mother Shanelle was refused surgery for her injury, she turned to us for help. “It’s just good to know that there are people out there who actually care that I’m injured. And that’s what Law Partners is about – they care.”

Andrew and Kylie have been amazing, they always go above and beyond with their service. I was having a really bad time with my workers compensation claim. I was referred to Law Partners, they fought for my rights and made the insurance company accountable. I finally had my surgery which I needed to help me recover.

I look forward to working with them in the future on other aspects of my claim. This team really cares! You are not treated like a number… unlike the insurance companies.

Thanks to Law Partners for everything I feel safe and secure knowingly I can trust they are looking out for me always. Highly recommend for their professional, quick and responsive service. Like I said Exceptional Service!!!

From my very first meeting with Natalie I felt comfortable, supported and heard. This was very important to me after what I had been through. Natalie spoke in terms that were easy for me to understand.
The whole process was smooth and made easier for me knowing I had Natalie’s support. I was pleased with outcome.
Thank you to Natalie and her team for making this episode in my life easier to navigate than I had thought it would be.

I can’t thank the girls at law partners enough, I rang them as a last resort as I was struggling to get help from anyone else, after the first call I immediately felt better, they actually seemed like they cared, they immediately got the claim going, they organised all appointments & forms which made everything alot easier for me, when the compensation was offered they said it wasn’t adequate so they advised me to appeal the decision & I ended up getting double the original amount. Thanks again LawPartners!

I moved from another firm to Law Partners and right from the start it was a totally different experience. My solicitor Sarah King and her paralegal Cassandra Hughes were empathetic, encouraging and highly attentive.
I received regular updates, they sought to clarify issues as they arose,
They prepared for each new step and checked in with me after each new event in the process.
They turned a scary experience into an ok experience with a positive outcome.
I cannot recommend them enough.
Thank you thank you.

I have been very fortunate to have picked a team which shows professionalism and caring about a very personal matter giving always there time even out of the working hours to care about someone and show that it’s more than just a matter.

They have made my problem much more easier to deal with and have shown me the respect in continuous follow-ups to make me understand and deal with this matter in a much easier way without Angy and Chantille it would be very hard road to take. Thank you for caring and thank you for making me feel important in such a hard situation.

I would like to give a huge sincere thank you to Chantille and her team who helped me with probably the most difficult period of my life, Chantille was caring, honest, thoughtful, understanding and listened to me without judgment and importantly was supportive, I was updated every step of the way and informed of all the proceedings, time frames and possible outcomes.

Chantille was professional and made me feel comfortable at all times, she is caring and worked diligently with me to achieve the best possible outcome, I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Every person I came in contact with was genuine and eager to assist in every way possible from the receptionists all the way up, absolutely wonderful people.

Thank you all for being there in my time of need and thank for laughing at my jokes bless you all.

OUTSTANDING!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank very much Shifa and Xanthe for their hard work.

In this really stressful time for me the way I have been kept informed and have been explained the different steps has been amazing. The patience and understanding you also shown is way more than I could have asked for.

It’s hard for me really to put into words how much I appreciate and respect the both of you.

Thank you so very much!
