Understanding Work Injury Damages Claims

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.

Guidance Through a Complex Legal Process

Work injury damages claims in NSW involve a structured legal process, including a compulsory pre-litigation phase. Most claims proceed through mediation in the Personal Injury Commission before any court proceedings are considered.

Our team manages every stage of the process, from preparing your claim and gathering evidence to representing you during mediation and beyond if required.

If your claim cannot be resolved through negotiation, we are fully prepared to pursue the matter in court to achieve the best possible outcome.
