Workplace Injuries (compensation claims)

Accidents at work unfortunately happen.

Accidents at work unfortunately happen. Some workplaces mean that injuries can easily occur, particularly if you are doing heavy or repetitive work. Whether the accident was your fault or not, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Accidents at work unfortunately happen.

Some workplaces mean that injuries can easily occur, particularly if you are doing heavy or repetitive work. Whether the accident was your fault or not, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Depending on how your accident occurred, there may be various types of claims you can make and thus it is important to have an expert lawyer who can identify the best way to achieve the most desirable outcome for you.

Some accidents such as those involving forklifts and other work “vehicles” such as motorised pallet jacks and the like can actually fall under the Motor Accidents legislation which often means you have entitlements to greater compensation. You need an expert lawyer to identify these issues and provide you with expert, professional and caring advice.

If you are injured at work your legal costs can be covered in full by the Independent Review Office (IRO) if you consult an IRO approved lawyer. The firm’s principal, Kasarne Burgan, is an IRO approved lawyer with decades of experience in acting for injured workers.

In some cases, where there has been negligence on the part of your employer, or someone else, which has led to your injury you may have greater entitlements to compensation. There are strict time limits which could apply to your claim. Why not contact us now for a free, no-obligation, initial discussion as to your entitlements. If you wait, it may be too late to bring a claim. Even if you think you may be out of time, call us just to check, so that you have peace of mind.
