How do I know if I have a claim?
The Tasmania worker’s compensation scheme is essentially a no-fault scheme. If you suffer a work-related injury, you should be compensated for it regardless of who’s fault it is.
What can you claim?
Our expert lawyers will ensure that you recover everything you’re entitled to. Depending on the type of claim, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Loss of earnings (past and future);
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses;
- Lump sum payments for serious injuries;
- Home and vehicle modifications.
In addition to the above, if your employer or a related third-party is found responsible for your injury due to negligence, you may also have a common law claim which can result in substantial compensation.
Getting the right advice early will give you peace of mind and ensure that you get what you are entitled to as soon as possible.
Time limits apply
In Tasmania, worker’s compensation claims must be lodged within 6 months of the injury. If you have missed this time limit, it is crucial that you seek legal advice immediately as missing this deadline may affect your ability to claim.
Rejected claim?
If your claim has been rejected, get legal advice immediately. We can help you determine your entitlements and appeal options.
