Frequently Asked Questions
If you’ve been injured at work, it’s natural to feel unsure about what to do next. You might be wondering whether you’re eligible to make a WorkCover claim, how the process works, or what it means for your employment and recovery.
Workplace injuries can be stressful and confusing, especially while you’re focused on getting better. That’s why seeking legal advice early is important – it helps you understand your rights, protects your entitlements, and ensures your claim is lodged correctly and on time.
Our experienced workers' compensation lawyers offer free, no-obligation consultations and act on a no win, no fee basis, so you can access skilled legal guidance without any upfront costs. We’ve answered some of the most common questions about WorkCover claims and are here to support you at every stage of your recovery and claim process.
In Queensland, you can make a WorkCover claim if you’ve suffered a physical or psychological injury connected to your job. This includes:
Workplace accidents
Repetitive strain
Psychological trauma
Illness or injury caused by unsafe conditions.
Our personal injury lawyers can help determine whether your condition qualifies under compensation law and guide you through the workers' compensation process. You may be entitled to medical treatment, lost wages, and even a lump sum payment for permanent impairment. Getting free initial advice from our experienced lawyers ensures that if you decide to proceed, your statutory benefits claim is lodged correctly and supported with medical evidence.
In Queensland, strict time limits apply to all workers' compensation claims. You generally have six months from the date of your work-related injury or when you first became aware of it to lodge a statutory claim with your workers' compensation insurer.
If you’re pursuing a common law claim for employer negligence, you typically have three years from the date of injury. Because time limits can vary depending on the type of claim and evidence available, it’s best to seek expert advice early. Our Gold Coast lawyers offer free case review appointments to protect your right to claim compensation.
WorkCover provides statutory benefits for injured workers. In some cases, common law compensation for injuries sustained at work may also be able to be pursued. Depending on your situation, you may receive payments for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment, as well as lost wages while you recover.
In more serious cases, our compensation lawyers on the Gold Coast can help you pursue a lump sum payment or personal injury compensation for permanent disability. If your injury results from employer negligence, a common law claim may also be available. Our specialist lawyers can explain how much compensation you may be entitled to and provide clear legal assistance every step of the way.
Our no win, no fee lawyers offer access to legal services without upfront costs, so you only pay if your claim succeeds. This arrangement helps injured workers confidently seek legal support while focusing on recovery. Our injury lawyers handle all aspects of your claim - from gathering medical reports to negotiating with your workers' compensation insurer or representing you at a settlement conference or in court. Whether your case involves a physical injury or psychological injury, you can rely on our experienced personal injury lawyers to pursue the best outcome for you.
Successful compensation claims rely on substantial evidence. You’ll need to provide medical reports, GP certificates, and details of your medical treatment and workplace incident. Supporting documents such as witness statements, pay slips for lost wages, and receipts for rehabilitation or travel help prove your personal injury claims
Our experienced personal injury lawyers can ensure your evidence meets workers' compensation and personal injury law requirements. Our team helps members of the Gold Coast community prepare claims for both minor and serious injuries (such as head injuries, permanent disability, spinal or limb injuries), ensuring you receive fair personal injury compensation.
