Gordon Legal has experienced Workers Compensation Lawyers in Melbourne and Geelong. After suffering a workplace injury, your life can be turned upside down in many ways.

Everybody has the right to expect that safety and health are a top priority at work. If you have been injured in the workplace or as a result of your work, you may be entitled to claim for compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of income, medical expenses and more.

We understand that undergoing a workers’ compensation claims process can seem daunting or overwhelming. Our expert workers’ compensation lawyers specialise in this area of the law and are familiar with the landscape.

We also offer our legal services in this area on a No-Win No-Fee basis, so you can focus on your health and recovery and what matters most to you.

What type of compensation am I entitled to?

WorkCover provides insurance coverage for all employees in Victoria, so you don’t need special insurance or private arrangements to access this safety net.

WorkCover claims can involve different kinds of compensation, depending on the circumstances of the accident or injury.

This could mean:

  • Weekly payments (a percentage of your regular wages if you are unable to work)
  • Medical and related expenses
  • Lump sum benefit for permanent impairment
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of wages
  • A death benefit/dependency claim.

Some compensation in the WorkCover system can be accessed on a no-fault basis, so it doesn’t matter who caused or contributed to the accident or injury.

Your employer has a duty of care to provide you with a safe workplace. If this has been breached, and you have sustained a serious injury or illness, you could be entitled to seek compensation for your pain and suffering and loss of income.

You can read our lawyer, Rachel Schutze explaining some of the myths surrounding the WorkCover system.
