How Can Our “No Win, No Fee” Workers Compensation Lawyers in Wollongong Help?

If you’ve been injured or suffered an illness at work, you could be eligible to claim for worker’s compensation.

Suffering injury in the workplace can be a stressful and challenging part of your journey. We offer clear, accurate legal advice as to your rights and entitlements under the relevant Workers Compensation scheme — whether it is Federal or State, within NSW or outside NSW.


Dealing with insurance companies can be a lengthy process that requires a lot of effort and time, which you might not be able to manage due to your injury. Our workers’ compensation lawyers in Wollongong can assist you every step of the way to ensure you are fully compensated, whether you’ve been injured while working, during travel for your employment or at other work sites.


Workers Compensation legislation requires that “work is a substantial contributing factor” to your injury. It does not require that your employer was negligent. However, if we are able to establish that there was a breach of an employer’s duty of care, you may also be entitled to sue your employer for negligence.


If you’ve suffered injuries that resulted in a permanent impairment, you have the right to weekly compensation, medical expenses and a lump sum compensation.


How is it funded?


The Workers Compensation Independent Review Office (WIRO) may fund your case. What this means is that you do not pay for the professional fees or disbursements as they are funded by WIRO.


If for any reason you are not funded by WIRO, we can act on a no win, no fee basis (conditions may apply). Remember - there are strict time limits for making a claim, so it's important to see a lawyer as soon as you can to ensure you are on the right path and know what you are entitled to.

We pride ourselves on making the process as easy and as simple as possible.

In the last few years, the number of people who own and operate electric bikes and scooters has risen. As these electric bikes and scooters become more affordable many people are choosing to upgrade from their previously non-electric counterparts to speed up their method of transport. Not to mention, these electric bikes and scooters can be fun. Although there has always been the possibility of road accidents for non-electric bikes and scooters – many of us now ask ourselves – ‘are these electric bikes and scooters more dangerous than the non-electric ones’? Although this a complex question and not one that this article will answer the reality is – what are your legal rights and entitlements if you are involved in an accident and injured while riding an electric bike or scooter. Fortunately, in New South Wales, if you have been injured in an accident while riding your electric bike or scooter (or even if you were a passenger) or if you have been injured as a result of being in an accident with an electric bike or scooter – you may be entitled to compensation. Your potential entitlements to compensation may include: payment of your regular weekly salary while you recover; treatment expenses; a claim for pain and suffering; and where you may not be able to return to work indefinitely, a claim for your future economic loss. Road accidents can be serious and lifechanging. It is important that you seek legal advice early with respect to your rights and entitlements to motor accident claims, especially within the first three months since the date of your injury. Here at Kells, our compensation team is always ready and happy to help people with advice that they need to navigate their rights and entitlements after an injury. If you, or somebody you know, have been injured while riding your electric (or non-electric) bike or scooter, and need help or advice navigating rights and entitlements to compensation, please reach out – we are here to help and are only a phone call or online enquiry away.
