Workplace Accidents & Injuries
Claim workers’ compensation for workplace injuries or illnesses
A place of work should be a safe environment, with employees protected from any harm. Indeed, it is every employer's responsibility to provide such a safe and protected working environment.
If you’ve sustained an injury or contracted an illness at your workplace, no matter how severe, you might be entitled to compensation, with a range of benefits, such as: payment to cover loss of income or other financial loss; medical, rehabilitation and associated expenses; loss of any pension payments; damages for pain and suffering; and in some circumstances, lump sum payments. Claims for compensation can also be made for fatalities from accidents in the workplace.
In most cases, an employer should be covered by liability insurance, which would cover the compensation claim. However, you will most likely still need to take action. We can help with supporting your position and if need be, take care of all the legal aspects and negotiations, so that you can focus on taking care of your recovery and getting on with your life.
There are a range of workplace hazards that can commonly contribute to a personal injury, illness or fatality, including:
- Personal injuries from a fall or slip at the workplace
- Lifting injuries
- Mental or psychological illnesses
- Strain Injuries
- Accidents at building and construction sites
- Injuries or illnesses relating to exposure to harmful substances
- Hearing or site loss, and
- Malfunctioning machines and equipment, among other

For instance, the severity or nature of the injury, likely recovery time and prognosis, as well as the various damages that need to be taken into account, but many times not only.
