Workcover QLD Claims - Queensland
When you visit the WorkCover website you will read these words: "WorkCover recommends that an injured worker lodging a common law claim seek advice from a solicitor".
While some claims are rejected, most claims are successful. The success of a workplace claim depends on a number of often complex factors, therefore the recommendation by WorkCover to contact a solicitor who is skilled in WorkCover cases, who understands your rights and entitlements and can ensure you receive the full compensation available including considering any potential common law (negligence) claim.
It is necessary to lodge a WorkCover injury report within a specified period of time, depending on the type of claim. Lodging a work related injury claim with WorkCover, and ensuring you receive your due entitlements, can be stressful if you don't understand your rights and have little or no support. Your ALC Lawyers are based on the Gold Coast, and cover the whole of Queensland, have in-depth knowledge of the Queensland WorkCover injury system. This is important as injury law does vary from State to State.

WorkCover claims are still valid even if you have not taken time off work but have paid out medical or other expenses related to a workplace injury. While a back injury is possibly the most common work accident, broken limbs, head and neck injuries and amputation are often viewed as the only valid types of WorkCover injuries, conditions such as repetitive strain injury and stress can also be covered by Workers compensation laws, therefore, it is always best not to assume but to seek professional, reliable advice.
Not all claims end up in court, and the majority is settled out of court. Still, some employees are unsure about claiming in the belief future employers may hesitate to employ them if they have made a WorkCover claim. However, Both the Equal Opportunity Act and WorkCover Australia have legislation in place to safeguard against this possibility. In addition, as part of the WorkCover settlement and conditions of returning to work, an employer can be required to fix any unsafe issues.
When completing a WorkCover form and undertaking a WorkCover assessment, aspects such as the severity and possible long-term outcome of the workplace injury, plus duration away from the workplace are taken into account and will have an impact on the final WorkCover payout. Once again, it is highly advisable to contact a skilled workcover lawyer as soon as possible to be sure your best interests are secured.
WorkCover claims can be lodged online. Also, the WorkCover Authority provides vital information and forms for employees and employers alike, and watches over the rights of all parties. Your ALC Injury Lawyers watch over only your rights.
