Serious workplace injuries can have long-term consequences, affecting not only your health but also your ability to earn an income. In NSW, injured workers may have the right to bring a work injury damages claim if their injury meets certain legal thresholds.
To be eligible, your injury must result in at least 15% whole person impairment, and you must be able to demonstrate that your employer’s negligence caused your injury.
These claims differ from standard workers compensation matters and require careful preparation, detailed evidence, and a strong legal strategy. Our work injury lawyers are experienced in managing these complex cases from start to finish.
