WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAWYERS IN SHELLHARBOUR

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.
