Workers Compensation
The law in NSW allows you to be compensated if you sustained an injury while at work or during the course of work and it can be proven that work was a substantial contributing factor to that injury.
If this is the case, then you may be entitled to claim the following:
- Weekly payments covering time off work in the past and the future.
- Lump sum compensation if you have suffered a permanent injury and your whole person impairment exceeds the threshold as required by the law.
- Medical expenses for your treatment.
- Rehabilitation and assistance around the house.
