First Steps After a Workplace Injury
After an injury or work-related illness, report it to your employer as soon as practicable and seek appropriate medical care. Keep copies of medical certificates, treatment records, incident reports, correspondence and details of anyone who witnessed what happened. These records can help show how the injury occurred and how it affects your ability to work.
The correct process for workers compensation in NSW depends on the circumstances, including whether a claim has already been made and how the insurer has responded. Requirements and time limits can vary, so early advice is safer than relying on a general deadline found online. Missing documents should not prevent you from asking what steps are available.
For over 45 years, the lawyers at PK Simpson in Sydney have helped our clients get the Workers’ Compensation they are entitled to receive.
Our lawyers have the skills and experience to make sure your Workers’ Compensation claim is successful.
How a Workers Compensation Lawyer Can Help
Our workers compensation lawyers in Sydney can review your claim history, medical evidence and insurer correspondence, then explain the options that may apply. We can help prepare information requested by the insurer and advise you if a decision, delay or dispute needs to be addressed. Your entitlement will depend on the evidence and the legislation applying to your claim.
If a dispute cannot be resolved directly, it may be dealt with through the Personal Injury Commission. A workers compensation lawyer in Sydney can explain the dispute pathway, the material required and what to expect at each stage, without promising a particular outcome.
If you are eligible, ILARS may fund legal help for your NSW workers compensation claim or dispute. An IRO Approved Lawyer must obtain a funding grant, so support is not automatic.
