Potential compensation, in respect to workplace injury or disease, includes:

Weekly compensation for any past or future periods where you are totally or partially unfit for work;
Medical treatment expenses;
Rehabilitation expenses;
Compensation for the provision of domestic services and attendant care services;
Lump-sum compensation if your injuries or disease have resulted in a 10% or greater permanent impairment; and,
Lump-sum compensation for 5% or greater hearing loss due to workplace noise.

What you can claim for will depend on the situation and the injuries you sustained. During your initial consultation, we will be able to tell you whether your claim is legitimate or not; the same rules apply when trying to determine what compensation you will receive. Once your LHD lawyer has reviewed your case and has a clear understanding of what has occurred, we will be able to give you a rough estimate of what you can expect to receive.

Generally, compensation is payable for injuries such as:

Physical injuries;
Injuries suffered while working away from your usual place of employment;
Injuries sustained travelling to work;
Disease caused by work; and,
Any pre-existing disease that is aggravated by work.

In the event that your Comcare claim is denied, a review application will need to be submitted to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Time limits are strict when requesting a reconsideration; however, your personal injury lawyer will advise you of all relevant time limits in relation to your case.

LHD Lawyers believes every Australian deserves to have their Comcare claim properly heard.

We are so confident that we can win your case that we back ourselves with our No Win No Fee policy for all the compensation cases we manage; this means you only pay legal fees if we win your Comcare case.
