    Under the Workers’ Compensation Scheme, you may be entitled to benefits and compensation if you’ve suffered an injury in your workplace or contracted an illness through doing your job. Every Australian worker is covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance, which their employer is compelled by law to have in place.  You should feel a sense of safety, and that you’re protected from harm in your workplace. But in the unfortunate event that you are injured at work, or if you contract an illness that affects your physical or emotional health, or your finances and prevents you from doing your job, it can be devastating. That’s why the Workers’ Compensation Scheme exists, to help you recover and get back to work.  PK Simpson lawyers are Workers’ Compensation specialists, and we can help you make sense of all the changes in Legislation, and explain the process of making a claim to receive the benefits you deserve.

    How Can a Lawyer Help Me?

    Workers’ Compensation is basically an insurance policy that’s compulsory for employers. The WorkCover authority in each State appoints agents, which are insurance companies, to manage claims. This means during your claims process, the insurance company and your employer will be in contact with you and should a dispute arise, you might find it difficult winning such an unequal battle. But with PK Simpson lawyers working for you it definitely levels the playing field in your favour.  Our lawyers know all the tricks of the insurance trade after working on these cases for years and winning them.
