Workplace Injury Lawyer Perth
If you’ve been injured because your employer failed to provide a safe workplace, or because a co-worker or another party was negligent, you may be entitled to compensation. We can help you maximise your claim and get the financial support you need while you recover.
Who Can Make a Claim for Workplace Injury Compensation?
Physical injuries at work can happen in any industry – from construction and mining to retail, transport, and office environments. If you’ve suffered a physical injury at work, you may qualify for compensation. This applies to full-time, part-time, casual, and seasonal employees in Western Australia.
An injury at work can leave you without income and burdened with ongoing treatment costs and other unexpected expenses. Which is why it’s important to seek reliable legal advice from a workplace injury lawyer, like Jonathan Persich.
At Persich Personal Injury, we can help you secure fair compensation to relieve the physical, mental and financial challenges that come with such injuries. Contact us today for your Free, No Obligation First Consultation.
What Can I Claim For?
If you have an eligible work injury claim, you may be able to recover compensation for:
01
Medical and Hospital Costs
Reimbursement for expenses related to medical or hospital care.
02
Specialist Treatment
Compensation for physiotherapy, rehabilitation and specialist treatments.
03
Pain and Suffering
For significant injuries, you can claim for physical and emotional distress caused by the accident.
04
Economic Loss
Future loss of earning capacity if your injury affects your long-term work prospects.
Your injury compensation will depend on the severity of your injuries, how they affect your daily life and whether you can return to your usual work.
What Steps Should I Take?
If you have suffered a physical work-related injury, firstly seek medical attention immediately and obtain a First Certificate of Capacity from your GP. Next, request and complete a Workers Compensation Claim Form and submit it along with a copy of the ‘First Certificate of Capacity’ to your employer.
