Professional advice for workers compensation rates in QLD
If you have suffered an injury at work, or an accident during your commute, then you might be able to claim workers compensation (commonly referred to as ‘workers comp’).
Workers compensation by definition protects people who have been injured through the course of their employment. It’s not just for physical injuries as workers compensation for stress leave can also be pursued.
The Personal Injury Lawyers are a team of specialist work-related injury lawyers based in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Canberra. We can provide accurate workers compensation estimates and ensure you get the payout you deserve.
How much is my work injury worth for a compensation claim?
When you’ve suffered an injury at work, compensation amounts will vary depending on the severity of your injuries. Workers compensation estimates are based on a percentage of the worker’s pre-injury average weekly earnings to determine the initial WorkCover payments. If you choose to pursue a common law claim for damages then the workers comp estimate is designed to cover your total out-of-pocket expenses, including:
- Medical expenses, including any operations you undergo
- Rehabilitation costs
- The time you take off work and loss of earnings
- Permanent impairment benefits
- The loss of future earnings from suffering a severe injury
