A specialist lawyer will review your circumstances and tell you how much you can claim.
The amount you can claim depends on your injury along with how and where it happened. Here’s a summary of potential entitlements:
This includes weekly payments to compensate you for lost income while you’re off work, and medical expenses to cover your healthcare, rehabilitation treatments and travel costs.
If your whole person impairment (WPI) assessment is over a certain threshold, you might also qualify for a permanent impairment payout. Finally, a work injury damages (WID) payout may be available as a lump sum if your injury was caused by your employer’s negligence.
If your injury is very serious, you may be entitled to a TPD lump sum payout via your super fund. There’s no complete “list” of injuries that qualify for a TPD claim. Depending on your policy, the key is that your injury has stopped you from going back to your construction or trade job.
Our specialist TPD injury lawyers have made thousands of successful claims on behalf of our clients, and we have a network of hand-picked medico legal specialists who work with us to build winning cases.
In specific situations, you might also have grounds for a public liability claim. For example, if you were injured due to unsafe conditions at a third-party site, you could potentially pursue a public liability claim against the site owner while also receiving workers compensation from your employer.
This type of claim can cover additional damages not included in workers compensation payments, such as pain and suffering or economic losses.
Construction site or tradesperson injuries can often mean time off work, unplanned expenses, and financial stress. At Law Partners, we get to know you and your family to learn about your life before you were injured. We look beyond your injuries, to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ construction and trade-related injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues to make sure we claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with Law Partners on your side.
No matter how you’ve been injured, we’re here to help. Here are some of the most common construction and trade work claims:
A widespread cause of construction-related injuries, often occurring from roofs, ladders, scaffolding, and other structures.
Including back injuries from lifting and carrying heavy objects and building materials.
Slips and falls at work can be caused by uneven surfaces, trip hazards and wet surfaces.
Contact with live electrical wires or faulty equipment can cause electric shock, electrical burns, and arc burns.
Workers can be hit by moving objects including falling tools and debris dropped from a height.
Injuries can occur from using heavy machinery like cranes, forklifts and collisions with other vehicles.

Yes, if you’re a casual employee injured at work, you’re entitled to claim WorkCover compensation. WorkCover for casual employees is not only limited to citizens and permanent residents. If you’re on a visa that permits you to work in Australia and you’re injured at work, you’re still eligible to claim workers compensation benefits.
A no win no fee lawyer offers to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
If your WorkCover claim is denied, there are options open to you to dispute the decision.
The insurer that has denied your claim must notify you in writing of their reasons for the denial and provide information on the next steps available to you.
Here are some examples of common disputes:
If you have a dispute with an insurer, here are some options:
Here are four ways our personal injury lawyers can get more compensation for your injury:
Dispute the insurer’s decision if they’ve denied any part of your claim or any treatment.
Check your WPI assessment to see if you qualify for a permanent impairment lump sum payment.
Investigate the circumstances of your injury to determine if there are other claims you can make, such as a lump sum damages claim.
If you’re unable to work, we can review your superannuation policies to see if you’re entitled to a TPD lump sum.
