How Can Our “No Win, No Fee” Shellharbour Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Help?

If you’ve been injured or become unwell due to your job, you may have the right to claim workers’ compensation.

Dealing with a work-related injury or illness can be overwhelming, especially when your recovery is interrupted by paperwork and insurance demands. Our team provides clear and reliable advice on your rights under the applicable workers’ compensation scheme, whether that falls under NSW law or Commonwealth legislation.


Handling a claim often involves dealing with insurers, deadlines and forms that can be difficult to manage, especially while you're unwell. That’s where we come in. Our Shellharbour workers’ compensation team can help you through the process, whether your injury happened on the job, while travelling for work, or during work-related duties off-site.


You do not need to prove employer fault to make a successful claim. It’s enough to show that work was a significant contributing factor. However, if we can show that your employer failed in their duty to provide a safe working environment, you may also be able to pursue a separate negligence claim.


If your injury has led to a permanent condition, you may be entitled to ongoing income support, medical treatment, and a lump sum payout.



How is it funded?

Your workers’ compensation claim may be covered by the Workers Compensation Independent Review Office (WIRO). If approved, WIRO will cover the legal costs and related expenses involved in running your case, so there is nothing for you to pay.


If WIRO funding isn’t granted, we may still be able to assist under a no win, no fee arrangement (terms apply). Strict deadlines apply to these types of claims, so it’s important to get advice early and understand your entitlements.

We focus on making the claims process straightforward and stress-free.

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.
