Workers Compensation Lawyer NSW
At PK Simpson Lawyers, we’ve dealt with thousands of New South Wales Workers Compensation claims over 38 years, and we know all the tricks the insurance companies will try on if they know they can. We understand how important it is to have competent Workers Compensation specialist lawyers on your side to help you lodge a claim if you’ve been injured at work. Insurance companies won’t tell you what you need to know to get fair compensation. They will only tell you what they want you to know, and that is as little as possible in order to minimise your claim. You need a team of Compensation lawyers to fight for what you are entitled to receive. Our lawyers at PK Simpson are ready and willing to let you know your rights and entitlements under the NSW Workers Compensation legislation.
If you have been injured at work, you might be wondering, “Is there a PK Simpson Workers’ Compensation lawyer nearby or near me?” If so, call us on 1300 757 467 or email enquiries@pksimpson.com.au, so we sort out your No Win No Fee Workers’ Compensation claim. As trusted workers compensation lawyers in NSW, we are here to fight for every dollar you are owed.
Time Limits & Legal Deadlines
NSW workers compensation lawyers know that time limits can make or break a claim. Under the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (NSW):
- 30 days – You must notify your employer of a work injury within 30 days of the incident
- 6 months – Lodge your workers compensation claim with icare within 6 months for smoothest processing
- 3 years – If pursuing a work injury damages claim (separate from statutory benefits), you have 3 years from the date of injury to commence proceedings
Missing these deadlines can cost you thousands in lost entitlements. If you’re unsure whether your claim is still within time, contact our workplace injury lawyers immediately.
