In New South Wales, every employee has insurance cover usually paid by their employer. In the event an employee is injured while they are working, they are covered by Workers Compensation insurance which is managed by the WorkCover Authority of New South Wales.
Most small Workers Compensation Claims are easy to settle and usually do not require legal assistance. But if you have a claim that is more complex or forces you to be out of work for a long period of time, we are here help you! Most insurers can make it hard for you to receive your full entitlements.
We can help and advise you immediately after the injury to assist you in receiving all your entitlements.
Therefore, if you have suffered as a result of an injury at work and you are having trouble with your Workers Compensation Claims, call Gajic Lawyers for a chat on (02) 9890 5885.
In New South Wales, the organisation responsible for Workers Compensation is the WorkCover Authority of New South Wales.
Regardless of the type of your employment, your employer will usually have a Workers Compensation insurance policy. This policy covers you for many things, including:
Workers Compensation can be paid in three ways by the insurers: it can be paid as a lump sum, weekly benefits and medical expenses.
There are 3 heads of entitlements in Worker Compensation, namely lump sum, weekly benefits and medical expenses.
A claim for lump sum compensation can be made in the event the injury has resulted in permanent impairment. That claim depends on how serious your injuries are and how they restrict your ability to work. Permanent impairment assessments are determined by WorkCover-trained medical specialists.
A claim for weekly benefits will depend on the following:
A claim for medical expenses depends on whether they are reasonable and necessary in accordance with the law and your injury. These claims can include expenses for treatment and surgery, which need to be pre-approved by the insurance company. There are time limits on claiming and recovering medical expenses.
