What Is a Workplace Injury and Am I Eligible for Workers Compensation?

Work-related injuries may include injuries that are sustained at work, while performing duties for your employment, or while travelling between workplaces.

Workplace injuries may also include pre-existing injuries that have been worsened as a result of work.

Different types of workplace injuries include:

  • Physical injuries – such as slips and falls, lifting injuries, industrial deafness, falling from a height, muscular injuries, and repetitive strain injury (RSI)
  • Psychological injuries – such as anxiety, depression, stress, loss of sleep, and the aggravation of pre-existing mental health conditions.

Our Compensation Lawyers Can Guide You in Making a Claim in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and Across Australia

Every state and territory has its own laws and limitations that dictate when and how you can claim compensation. Generally speaking, the eligibility of your claim will be affected by where and when the injury occurred.

It is important to report workplace injuries to your employer and your state’s workers compensation body as soon as practical.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive?

The exact nature of your compensation will depend on a range of factors that are specific to your circumstances. Generally speaking, you may be eligible for compensation to cover:

  • Loss of earnings
  • Loss of superannuation contributions
  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Additional long-term loss of income

Compensation may come in the form of ongoing payments, lump sum payouts, and payments to cover eligible expenses.

      “My need for support from McDonald Murholme came at a time when I was also focussing on a couple of other personal issues - both significant but unrelated. The support I received from Alan, Stephanie and the team was incredible - I felt supported at every step of the process and was 100% confident that the matter was being dealt with effectively whilst I addressed other things. Most importantly, however, the team were easy to talk to and kept me fully up to date with progress. Hopefully I'll not have a need to use them again but, if I do, I absolutely would NOT hesitate! Last thing for me to say - THANK YOU McDonald Murholme!”
