What is workplace bullying and harassment?
Workplace bullying and harassment is a horrible circumstance that can unfortunately happen to anyone, regardless of their position in the company, how long they’ve been an employee or how much they get paid. Bullying and harassment in the workplace can cause psychological injury through damaging both your mental and physical health, and can cause long-term repercussions like psychological trauma and ongoing stress and anxiety.
If you’re experiencing workplace bullying and harassment and it’s affecting your ability to function in your day-to-day life, get in touch with one of the psychological injury legal experts at LHD Lawyers. We’ll be able to assess whether you have a workplace trauma claim through Workers’ Compensation and can help you receive the maximum payout for your suffering.
Can you sue your employer for psychological injury in the workplace?
If one of more of the following statements apply to you, you may be able to make a psychological trauma claim:
- Is your employer covered by Federal anti-bullying laws?
- Is the behaviour you’re experiencing in your workplace repeated and unreasonable?
- Is the behaviour you’re experiencing creating a risk to your physical or mental health and safety?
- Unless action is taken to stop the behaviour, is it likely to continue?

What happens after your free claim check
Once you’ve completed your free claim check, we’ll arrange a call to talk through your accident with you and wether we think you have a claim. If you decide to move forward, we’ll guide you through each step – from gathering the right information to dealing with insurers and progressing your claim.
A call with our team.
It starts with a conversation where we take the time to understand what’s happened and how it’s affected you, then help you understand where you stand and what your options are.
What to prepare
You don’t need to have everything, but if you have details about the incident, medical treatment, insurance or superannuation, it can help us get started. We can guide you on anything else needed.
How fees work
There’s no upfront cost to get advice, and if we take on your claim, it’s on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you don’t pay our legal fees unless your claim is successful.
