I am very pleased at the result, and the way the whole claim was processed by all of you. I will have no hesitation whatsoever in the future to recommending ALC Lawyers to anyone I know who may become injured during work, or to anyone in general conversation if they are looking for a decent firm to represent them in any Personal Injury claim. Once again, thank you all very very much. John

Thanks again and I hope your business prospers beyond your wildest expectations. Greg
Work Injury Compensation - QLD
In Queensland, there is distinct injury law which allows an injured person to claim compensation for an injury that has been sustained. Therefore if you have a work related injury, whether it is through a negligent act or not, you are entitled to pursue a claim under Workers Compensation.
Irrespective of the type or extent of injury sustained you should immediately lodge an accident injury claim with the Workers Compensation insurers concerned. In Queensland, the majority of the Workers Compensation insurance is with Work Cover, although large companies such as Coles and Woolworths do hold their own insurance and federal employees at covered by ComCare.
If you sustain an injury at work you are entitled to claim your weekly wage loss plus medical expenses. If you sustain a permanent injury you will also be entitled to lump sum compensation. The injury law is not straightforward and therefore you require advice from a specialist injury lawyer who will advise on your compensation entitlements.
For free advice to find out if you are entitled to a lump sum payment speak to a Personal Injury Lawyer today on: 1300 13 67 26 (24 hr advice line) or complete the free case review form.
Note that many solicitors do not specialise in the area of law relating to compensation so be sure you contact the right lawyer for specialist advice. You can contact Aussie Law Consultants today for a FREE CONSULTATION to find out your potential compensation entitlements or by completing the FREE CASE REVIEW on this page. ALC Lawyers employ a number of specialist injury lawyers who will be able to advise you.
Obviously there are numerous different injuries that can be sustained at work, particularly industrial injuries sustained in mines, steel plants, etc. which are covered by QLD Workers Compensation. A common injury is a back injury, which regularly results in lump sum compensation being available, although ALC Lawyers can handle every type of injury including any bodily injury, brain injury, in addition to back injury compensation claims.
If the work related injury was sustained through negligence then a common law claim could be pursued and a specialist solicitor who fully understands injury law such as those at ALC Lawyers is required. Under common law, compensation for negligence claims is the most unrestricted of any state in the country.
According to Queensland injury law, when calculating common law entitlements in addition to the severity of the injury, the length of time that the injury keeps a worker away from work is also going to be a factor in deciding compensation. It is important to keep both your doctor and solicitor fully abreast of how recovery from the injury is progressing to ensure you receive all the compensation to which you might be entitled.
The best way to find out more about this topic is to talk to a good personal injury lawyer. Therefore contact ALC Lawyers; the specialist accident lawyers will assist you with your accident injury claim.
