Mandarin-Speaking Solicitor for Work Injuries and Accidents
For many Mandarin-speaking individuals in Australia, whether long-term residents, new arrivals, or those on temporary work visas, navigating the aftermath of a work injury can be especially challenging due to language barriers and unfamiliarity with local laws.
It’s crucial to know that all workers in NSW have rights to workers compensation if injured on the job, regardless of their visa status or background. PK Simpson is proud to offer dedicated services, including access to Mandarin-speaking legal professionals, to ensure you understand your entitlements and can confidently pursue the compensation you deserve. We are here to help bridge any communication gap and provide expert legal guidance.
Language Difficulties May Lead to Losses
Language difficulties and an inability to understand the complexities of workers’ compensation law can be a huge disadvantage for many Chinese Australians (and others). Many people with English as a second language have lost money and property after signing documents that are not legal or in their best interests. They have trusted the wrong people rather than seeking legal advice.
At PK Simpson, a compassionate Mandarin-speaking solicitor is available to help you. Our personal injury litigation and workers’ compensation lawyers are part of our leading compensation and personal injury law firm. We’ve helped countless people from the Chinese community get the compensation or legal help they need. Our law firm, located close to Sydney’s Chinatown, has good standing in the Chinese community.
The Chinese Population in Australia
There are more people of Chinese ancestry per capita in Australia than in any other country outside of Asia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2021 Census, residents with Chinese ancestry comprise 5.5 per cent of the population (1).
The Chinese Demography in Sydney
In the ABS 2021 Census, there were 552,680 or 10.6 per cent of the total population of Sydney who were Chinese with Chinese ancestors. With these high numbers of Chinese Australian citizens and temporary workers in Sydney and Australia, there is a need for Mandarin and Cantonese speakers in law firms nationwide. That’s why we ensured we could offer a Chinese-speaking service to our clients needing help with personal injury law.
Compensation For Chinese Workers in Australia
Whether you are a permanent Chinese resident in Australia or on a working visa, you are covered by Workers’ Compensation Insurance, which your employer is legally obliged to have in place. You may be entitled to workers’ compensation claims if you are injured at work, on the way to work, or working away from the workplace. (But be aware that workers’ compensation insurance does not cover contractors and subcontractors.)
Compensation and Personal Injury Claim Benefits
PK Simpson clients can be reassured that we work with experienced Chinese doctors in workers’ compensation and personal injury law to ensure you get the maximum benefit. Workers’ compensation and personal injury claims can pay medical bills and provide part of your wages until you can return to work after recovering from your injuries.
Other types of personal injury compensation for public liability claims and medical negligence claims may be available. If you were injured in a public place, in a motor vehicle accident, or even as a victim of crime, contact our Mandarin-speaking personal injury lawyer at PK Simpson today.

However, you must seek expert legal advice and assistance from an experienced legal team.
