Again, thank you very much. John

Compensation Law Information
Accident & Injury Law
Personal injury laws only refer to injured persons and not to property or belongings. There are two main types of personal injury law. One is the ‘torts or intentional torts’ and other is the law of negligence (or common law). Intentional tort is a deliberate act and negligence is as a result of carelessness, such as a negligent driver or a wet floor causing someone to slip and fall. Work injury is another area that is also known as a personal injury. Many workplace accidents fall under Worker’s Compensation but if the injury is permanent and as a result of negligence, a worker may be entitled to additional damages available outside of Workers compensation. The States and Territories in Australia have completely different laws with some operating ‘fault based schemes’ or a ‘non fault-based schemes’. You can contact Aussie Law for free legal advice on 1300 136 726.
Personal Injury Compensation
If you have been injured, you may be entitled to claim personal injury compensation. The severity of the injury, whether the injury is permanent or not, if there has been negligence and the level of future economic losses are the main components of a personal injury claim.
Public Liability Claims
If you have been injured in a public place for example a slip or a fall in a local shopping centre you may be entitled to pursue a public liability claim. Public liability claims can be a little more complex. On important thing to remember is that negligence has to be clearly proven. There has to be evidence to substantiate and support the public liability claim.
Workers Compensation
If you have had an injury at work you may be entitled to workers compensation. There are different laws in each State or Territory and so it is very important to speak with a work injury lawyer who specialises in the specific State or Territory in which your injury happened. At Aussie Law we can assist with your inquiry wherever you are in Australia. Workers Compensation benefits from the insurer may include loss of earnings, hospital and medical expenses, travelling expenses, rehabilitation expenses and a lump sum payment for permanent impairment.
WorkCover Compensation Claims
WorkCover is the name of the main Workers Compensation insurer in NSW, QLD, WA, VIC and TAS. In the NT the main Workers Compensation Insurer is WorkSafe. It is compulsory for employers to hold Workers Compensation insurance to protect the worker and the employer from the implications of workplace accidents.
Workplace Injury Compensation Lawyers & Solicitors
If you have suffered a workplace injury it is a good idea to contact a work injury lawyer to find out your legal options and entitlements. The most important thing to remember is not sign or accept any offer I.e. from WorkCover before seeking legal advice from a workplace injury compensation lawyer. Once an offer is accepted that is the end of your claim and you will be prevented from making any further claims for compensation. To speak to a workplace injury lawyer call Aussie Law on 1300 136 726.
