Work with Dedicated Workers' Compensation Lawyers in Adelaide
Have you suffered a work-related injury or illness in South Australia? You might be entitled to compensation under the Return to Work Act 2014. Here is what you might be entitled to if you are injured at work:
- Income support
- Reasonable and necessary medical treatment and care
- Return to work services like job placement and retraining
- Lump sum compensation
- Transport costs
- Death and funeral expenses
A compensation claim is made through a claims agent for the Return to Work Corporation of South Australia. Our compensation lawyers in Adelaide can guide you in claiming workers’ compensation. The claim should be made immediately after you sustain an injury. Ensure you seek medical advice and treatment and promptly report your injury to your employer. You will need to complete a Notice of Injury and Claim for Compensation form, and your employer will fill out an Employer Report Form. The employer will forward the forms to the claims agent, initiating your claim. Call us today to learn more about your rights as a worker.
Your Ideal Workers Compensation Lawyers in Adelaide
Workers compensation is the perfect way to ensure you are compensated for injuries or illnesses caused by your job. However, there are limitations to lodging this claim. A workers compensation claim must be lodged within six months of the injury being sustained or the illness being diagnosed. However, the claim can be accepted after six months in certain circumstances.
If you are seriously injured, you may have the option to bring a Common Law claim for damages. For Common Law claims associated with a workplace injury or illness, if you are over 18 years old, you have three years from the date of the work-related incident to lodge and settle a claim with the insurer. If the claim fails to settle, you must file court proceedings before the third anniversary of the incident.
If you are under 18 at the time of injury, you have three years from your 18th birthday to issue court proceedings. However, your parent or guardian can instruct our worker’s compensation lawyers in Adelaide to bring a claim for compensation on your behalf. Contact us today for expert legal advice.
