Have you been injured at work?
The NSW workers’ compensation system is a “no-fault system” meaning that all people injured at work are entitled to make a claim for compensation. This includes all full-time, part-time, casual and overseas workers and applies to the majority of injuries that are suffered at work, even if the injury may have been pre-existing or stress-related.
Reimbursement for your reasonable medical and health related expenses.
Compensation for domestic assistance.
Compensation for economic loss, such as loss of wages.
Compensation for non-economic loss, such as pain and suffering.
Miners
Working in the mines generally means you are exposed to a lot of workplace risks including accidents or exposure to dangerous situations. Unfortunately, these risks are worse if your employer has been negligent or the conditions are unsafe.
Often injuries sustained in a mining incident are of a more severe nature and result in a huge impact on your life, the capacity to work, pain and distress. The last thing you need is to try and manage a claim on your behalf. Our lawyers are here to win you maximum compensation whilst minimising your stress throughout the process.
Machine Operators and Drivers
When operating a machine or driving one, it can be a very fine line between a near miss and a catastrophic injury. Machine operators and drivers can work in hazardous occupations and exposed to dangerous situations. Unfortunately, these risks are increased if work conditions are unsafe or if the employer is negligent. The size and weight of machines and trucks make accidents potentially very dangerous for all involved. If you have suffered an injury as a result you may be eligible for compensation. Please contact us for free advice.
