Our Sydney work injury damages lawyers at Gajic Lawyers are highly experienced in handling common law negligence claims for workers injured through their employer’s fault. If you have suffered a serious work injury in NSW and your employer’s negligence contributed to that injury, you may be entitled to pursue work injury damages — a common law claim that can significantly increase your total compensation.
Work injury damages are separate from the statutory workers compensation entitlements you receive through icare. They are available to workers who meet the threshold requirements under the Workers Compensation Act 1987 and can prove their employer was negligent.
To be eligible to pursue a work injury damages claim in NSW, you must generally meet these criteria:
Work injury damages claims are among the most complex and high-value personal injury matters in NSW. They require a detailed investigation of how the accident occurred, expert evidence on the nature and extent of your employer’s negligence, comprehensive economic loss assessments, and careful navigation of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 and associated regulations.
Our Sydney work injury damages lawyers are experienced in litigating these claims through the Personal Injury Commission and the courts. We know how to build strong negligence cases against employers and their insurers — and how to maximise the damages awarded for past and future lost earnings, which can be substantial for seriously injured workers.
If you have been seriously injured at work in Sydney or anywhere in NSW, contact Gajic Lawyers today for a confidential, free assessment of whether a work injury damages claim is available to you.

Work injury damages (WID) is a common law negligence claim available to workers in NSW who have been seriously injured at work through their employer’s fault. Unlike statutory workers compensation (which is available regardless of fault), work injury damages require you to prove your employer was negligent and that the negligence caused your injury. Successful WID claims compensate for past and future economic loss — lost wages and reduced earning capacity — and are capped under the Workers Compensation Act 1987.
To be eligible for a work injury damages claim in NSW, your injury must result in a whole person impairment (WPI) of at least 15%, as assessed by an Approved Medical Specialist (AMS). Whole person impairment is a standardised measure of the degree to which your injury has permanently reduced your overall physical or psychological functioning. Our lawyers can advise you on whether your injuries are likely to meet this threshold and how to navigate the AMS assessment process.
Work injury damages in NSW cover past and future economic loss — that is, the income you have lost and will lose in the future as a result of your injury. Non-economic loss (pain and suffering) is not available in WID claims under NSW law. The claim is separate from your statutory workers compensation entitlements (weekly payments, medical expenses, Section 66 lump sums), which you may be entitled to in addition to WID. Our lawyers will calculate the full value of your combined entitlements.
Work injury damages claims in NSW must generally be commenced within three years of the date of injury. However, earlier procedural requirements apply — including lodging a Claim for Work Injury Damages before commencing proceedings. There are also specific notice and pre-litigation requirements under the Workers Compensation Act 1987. Contact Gajic Lawyers as early as possible to protect your rights.
Yes — but with important limitations. You can receive statutory workers compensation entitlements (weekly payments, medical expenses, and Section 66 lump sums) in addition to work injury damages. However, once a work injury damages claim is settled or determined, your weekly payments may be affected. Our lawyers will carefully manage the interaction between your statutory entitlements and your WID claim to maximise your total outcome.
Employers and their workers compensation insurers routinely dispute liability in work injury damages claims. Our Sydney work injury damages lawyers are experienced in gathering the evidence needed to establish employer negligence — including workplace incident reports, safety records, expert engineering or safety assessments, and witness evidence. We know how to build strong cases that stand up to challenge.
Yes. Gajic Lawyers handles Sydney work injury damages claims on a strict No Win, No Fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we successfully resolve your claim. Call 1800 318 002 or start your online claim check at gajic.com.au.
