What can I claim for an office-related injury?

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.



Our office work injury lawyers will get you more compensation.

Office-related 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’ office work injuries have led to other life complications and 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.


What office injuries can I claim for?

No matter how you’ve been injured, we’re here to help. Here are some of the most common office-related work claims:

Office workers compensation lawyer FAQs.

Yes, if you’re a casual employee injured at work, 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 workers compensation 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:

  • The insurer doesn’t consider the person making the claim to be a ‘worker’ (under the legislation).
  • The insurer considers that employment wasn’t the main contributing factor to the injury.
  • It wasn’t ‘reasonably necessary’ to have the medical treatment or to incur other expenses claimed.

If you have a dispute with an insurer, here are some options:

  • Request an internal review by the insurer, who must respond within 14 days.
  • Lodge a dispute directly with the PIC.
  • Call Law Partners for free legal advice – it may be possible for us to provide you with a lawyer at no cost to you.

How our office workers compensation lawyers can help you.

Here are four ways our personal injury lawyers can get more compensation for your injury:

Dispute the workers compensation 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.

I had an amazing experience with Shabana at Law Partners. From the very beginning, her attention to detail, communication, and overall commitment to my claim really stood out. She took the time to explain everything clearly, always followed up, and made sure I understood every step of the process. You could tell she genuinely cared about getting me the best result and went above and beyond to make that happen. George and Claudia were also fantastic. They were organised, friendly, and always quick to get back to me whenever I needed something. Together they made a stressful process so much easier. I’m really grateful for the effort and professionalism this team showed. If you get the chance to work with Shabana, you’ll be in very good hands.
