If you sustain injuries in a workplace accident, you can initiate a WorkCover compensation claim. WorkCover, the Queensland Government-owned insurer, extends insurance coverage to nearly every employer in Queensland. This coverage aims to compensate individuals who suffer injuries at work. This includes all work-related injuries, and even commuting to and from work in Queensland.

Our Cairns Compensation Lawyers can help you with your work injury or illness claim.

Workers' Compensation Queensland is generally broken into two categories:

1. Statutory Compensation; and
2. Lump Sum or Common Law Compensation.

Statutory compensation is payable irrespective of whether the injured employee was at fault for the accident. This payment can cover part of your wages while you are off work getting medical treatment or recovering. You can also cover any potential treatment costs associated with an injury.

Lump sum or common law compensation is only payable by WorkCover in specific circumstances. Either the employer or another worker caused or helped cause the incident that led to the injury.

A strict and complex system dictates how to make work injury claims. Contact our injury lawyers if you or someone you know suffered an injury at work or while commuting. They will provide a free assessment of your claim.

If you have received an offer from WorkCover, we strongly recommend that you get legal advice before accepting it.
