Workers Compensation NSW

In NSW, all employers are obliged by law to have compulsory workers compensation insurance in place for all workers they employ. As an employee, you are covered if you are employed as:

• A full or part-time employee
• A self-employed tradie or worker
• A permanent or casual worker
• Someone deemed to be an employee

The injuries and illnesses covered by the NSW workers compensation scheme include those sustained on the job, during work activities or as a result of work. There are different kinds of claims you may be eligible to make, depending on the circumstances of your accident or illness.

If you have suffered a work-related injury or illness, or you have a dispute over a decision by a workers compensation insurance company, or if there has been a commutation of your benefits, call us at PK Simpson so one of our expert workers compensation consultants can explain your rights and what you may be eligible to receive.

If you have suffered an injury at a workplace in NSW, you may be eligible for compensation – call our expert lawyers at PK Simpson today to find out more.

It can be difficult to know just what impact an accident at work can have on your health and your life. Relief may come with weekly payments of compensation, a lump sum payout and medical expenses covered through the NSW workers compensation scheme. These claims may be successful no matter who was at fault.

You may be able to claim compensation or benefits for:

• Medical and hospital costs
• Compensation for total and permanent disability or impairment
• Loss of income
• Costs of rehabilitation providers
• Travel costs
• Damages
• If the worker has died as a result, benefits are paid to the family
• Services that help you return to work

You need a lawyer to wade through the guidelines and your entitlements to compensation payments since several factors are involved. The main focus is on the gap between your life path before the accident and the impact the injuries have had on that, which includes the costs incurred due to your injuries or the death at work of a loved one, for instance.

If you have suffered an injury at work, be that physical or psychological,  you should make sure you contact a lawyer and if you are able, carry out the following steps as soon as possible:

1. Document and report your injury to your employer or management. Include the exact nature of the accident, the time and date and any obvious injuries, though remember you could be in shock and not realise the extent of the damage.
2. See a doctor immediately or attend a hospital emergency department.
3. Make sure a doctor supplies you with a Certificate of Capacity or Workers Compensation Medical Certificate.
4. Fill in a workers compensation claim form (if you are an injured employee).
5. Give the form to your employer and/or insurer
6. Contact PK Simpson on 1300 757 467 for an appointment and bring copies of your documentation.
