What can I claim for a warehouse/ manufacturing injury?
The amount you can claim depends on your whole person impairment (WPI) assessment. Here’s a summary of entitlements:
| Workers Compensation Payment: | |
|---|---|
| Weekly payments | These are payments to compensate you for lost income while you’re off work. |
| Medical expenses | Payment of your medical, hospital, ambulance, rehabilitation (including home help) and travel expenses. |
| Permanent impairment payout | A lump sum compensation payout to cover permanent impairment as a result of work-related injury or illness. |
| Work Injury Damages payout | Also known as common law claim, this is a lump sum payout for damages if your injury was caused by your employer’s negligence. |
To qualify for a permanent impairment lump sum, you’ll need to be assessed as having a WPI of 11% or more. Our specialist workers compensation lawyers can make sure your assessment is done correctly and that you receive your full entitlements, including any lump sums you’re eligible for.
How we can help you.
Here are four ways our workers compensation lawyers can get more compensation for your injury:
Help you with your dispute if part or all of your claim has been denied, or if you’ve been denied 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.
Frequently asked questions.
Yes, if you’re a casual employee injured at work in Victoria, you’re entitled to claim workers compensation. Workers compensation 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 and you want to dispute the decision, here are some options:
- Ask your WorkSafe agent to have the decision reviewed by a senior person that wasn’t involved in the original decision.
- Contact the Accident Compensation Conciliation Service and ask them to help resolve the dispute.
