Warehouse and manufacturing accident injuries often mean time off work, unplanned expenses, and financial stress. But we’re here to help. 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’ injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with Law Partners on your side.
Here are some examples:
Often caused repetitive activity over long periods. This applies to a range of activities like picking items from shelves and working on assembly lines.
Generally caused by excessive muscle stress from lifting or irregular physical actions, resulting in a tear to the muscle fibres.
These can develop over time through repetitive activities or can result from a sudden lifting motion or a fall onto an outstretched arm.
Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.
Caused by uneven surfaces, trip hazards and wet surfaces.
Including collisions and rollovers.
No matter how you’ve been injured, we’re here to help you claim your full compensation entitlements.
Speak to one of our friendly solicitors today and find out if you can claim.
Our solicitor will ask more questions and get to know you personally to work out everything you’re entitled to.
We’ll explain how we can claim all your compensation and give you our ‘no win no fee’ guarantee. You decide if you want to proceed – there’s no obligation.
A specialist lawyer will review your circumstances and tell you how much you can claim.
The amount you can claim depends on your whole person impairment (WPI) assessment. Here’s a summary of entitlements:
| Workers Compensation Payment NSW | Description |
|---|---|
| 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.
Here are four ways our workers compensation 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.
Your workers compensation lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers. Your team will work hard for you, check in with you regularly and always keep you up to date with your case. You’re in safe hands with Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.

Yes, if you’re a casual employee injured at work in NSW, 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.
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:
On 1 March 2021, the Personal Injury Commission (PIC) became the central body for resolving all workers compensation disputes.

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.
Caring for our clients drives everything we do – that’s why thousands of Australians every year choose Law Partners.
