If you’ve been injured as a result of a workplace accident, seek first aid and notify your employer right away. If your injuries are serious, you might also need to notify WorkSafe Queensland. Making an official record of your injuries is critical if you intend to pursue legal action. Seeking medical attention is also an important step in the claims process because your medical records may be required as evidence. Even if you aren’t experiencing noticeable pain or discomfort, it’s still best to talk to a medical practitioner and let them know you were involved in a workplace accident. The success of your workplace injury claim depends heavily on how comprehensive your medical records are, including details of the injury, how it relates to the accident, and the impact it’s had on your life. Don’t be afraid to seek a second opinion if you have been injured. We also recommend keeping a journal detailing and pain and symptoms you experience.
Once your injuries have been reported and you’ve received medical attention, you should speak to a work injury lawyer about the accident and your injuries.

You have the right to seek workers’ compensation if you are injured or become ill as a result of your job. Physical injuries are not required – psychological conditions are also covered. The following are some of the most common injuries mentioned in workers’ compensation claims:
Workers’ compensation payouts are also applicable for any accidents that occur travelling to and from work.

We can assist you in obtaining the compensation you are entitled to, regardless of the type of injury suffered.
All workers’ compensation and personal injury claims have strict time limits. To avoid missing any important deadlines, try to start the legal proceedings as soon as possible.
We recommend that you initiate legal action immediately following any impairment assessment by the workers’ compensation insurer, or when you are informed that your injury is being evaluated for degree of permanent impairment.
The Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 and its accompanying regulations govern compensation awards in Queensland for workplace injuries, which you can find more information on here.
Navigating the provisions of this legislation can be quite complex, so it is critical that you seek legal advice regarding any compensation entitlements you may have under such legislation.
The total cost of your case will be determined by the amount of work required. Keep in mind that even if your injury compensation claim incurs significant legal fees, you will not be required to pay any of those fees if you are not awarded compensation, thanks to our no-win, no-fee guarantee.
If your workplace accident claim is successful, your legal fees will be deducted from your compensation. However, you will always be awarded the lion’s share of the damages.
Before going to court, the majority of personal injury and workers’ compensation claims are settled. However, if you do end up in court, your workplace injury lawyer may be able to represent you. Even if you must appear in person, having legal representation can make the experience less intimidating.
Your employer’s insurance will most likely cover your workers’ compensation. Some injuries may not have as much of an impact on a person’s employment as others, whereas some considered minor injuries may have a greater impact on an occupation that one would think would be the least impacted.
Damages can be paid directly by the insurer, by the employer, or by a workers’ compensation regulator.
Although it is not required, it is recommended that you seek legal counsel from a workers’ compensation lawyer. These are just a few of the advantages of hiring a workplace injury lawyer to handle your case:
With TPIL Lawyers, when we assist you in lodging work accident claims, we’re also assisting in covering our client’s medical expenses. Once the claim is lodged on your behalf, your insurer is obligated to meet your reasonable treatment and rehabilitation costs. And with a workplace accident lawyer, this process will go smoother and quicker.
Because each workplace accident claim is unique, it is impossible to predict how long it will take to resolve your case. At TPIL Lawyers, we take the time to work through your case as thoroughly as possible to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.
If you were injured at work, on your way to or from work, or during a work break, you may be entitled to compensation, common law damages, or both.

There are three key steps in the accident at work claims process. They are as follows:
Step 1: Speak to one of our workers’ compensation lawyers to assess your claim eligibility. Once we have all the details, we can let you know whether you should pursue a WorkCover claim or not.
WorkCover is a ‘no-fault’ scheme that provides compensation for injured workers. However, there are certain circumstances in which WorkCover will not provide compensation, such as injuries caused by serious and wilful misconduct, intentional injuries and self-inflicted injuries.
Step 2: Once you have the tick of approval from us, you need to start gathering all of your evidence, including medical evidence and witness statements. While this may sound like a daunting, time-consuming task (especially while you’re in recovery) with TPIL Lawyers, we take care of this step for you, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Step 3: The final step is to either settle or proceed to court. Most cases settle before court but just know that if this is not the case for you, our workplace accident lawyers will be by your side every step of the way.
To give your workers’ compensation claim the strongest chance of success, you should keep the following:
Your workers’ compensation lawyer will be able to help locate these documents for you and effectively use them for your case.
So long as your workplace accident occurred in Queensland, yes. To discuss in detail the circumstances of your employment, the reason for your claim and your options, get in touch with a TPIL lawyer.
If your claim is rejected, it’s not the end of the road. A workers’ compensation lawyer will be able to help you first understand the reason why the claim was rejected and then help you plan out your next steps from there.
Normally, in these cases, your lawyer will request a review of the decision to the Workers’ Compensation Regulator. If this also does not work, there is the option to lodge and appeal to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission, where you will present your evidence and argument at the scheduled hearing.
While this can sound intimidating, just remember that you won’t be going through the process alone, and you will have a legal professional to help guide you through the process.
Workplace injury compensation claims are complex and can be stressful – especially if you run into issues with your employer’s insurer during the process.
