Understanding workers compensation entitlements
If you have been injured at work, you may be entitled to compensation. In circumstances where your employer is negligent or at fault, you may be entitled to bring a work injury damages claim.
Turner Freeman Adelaide has a highly experienced team of workers compensation lawyers with in-depth knowledge across all types of workplace injury claims. The way your claim is managed can make a real difference to the outcome, and our lawyers draw on years of experience to guide you through the process.
In South Australia, injured workers may be entitled to benefits such as:
- Weekly payments for total or partial incapacity for work
- Medical, hospital and rehabilitation expenses that are reasonably necessary for your recovery
- Lump sum compensation for permanent impairment in eligible cases
- Dependency claims and funeral expenses in the tragic event of a fatal workplace injury
Workers compensation laws in South Australia are regularly reviewed and amended. That’s why it’s essential to seek up-to-date specialist advice to ensure you fully understand your rights and entitlements as changes take effect.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer to make a workers compensation claim in South Australia?
You don’t need a lawyer to lodge a workers compensation claim in South Australia, as claims are generally made through ReturnToWorkSA or your employer’s insurer. However, getting legal advice can make a real difference to the outcome.
A workers compensation lawyer can explain your rights, help you understand the benefits you may be entitled to, and step in if your claim is delayed, disputed, or rejected. Having an experienced Adelaide workers compensation lawyer on your side ensures you receive clear guidance and strong representation at every stage of the process.
How long do I have to make a work injury claim?
In South Australia, work injuries should be reported to your employer as soon as possible. A formal workers compensation claim generally needs to be lodged within six months of the injury, though extensions may apply in limited circumstances (for example, if there’s a valid reason for the delay). To protect your rights and avoid complications, it’s best to seek advice and lodge your claim as early as you can.
Can I claim if the injury made a pre-existing condition worse?
Yes, in many cases you can still make a workers compensation claim if your employment aggravated or accelerated a pre-existing condition. The insurer will look at medical evidence to determine whether work was a significant contributing factor. Legal advice can help clarify your options.
How much are your fees?
At Turner Freeman Lawyers, we operate under a ‘no win, no fee’ policy.
We will provide an obligation free case assessment and advise you if the matter is worth pursuing.
What if I can’t travel to your office?
If you are unable to travel to our Adelaide, Aberfoyle Park or Whyalla offices due to medical or personal reasons, we are more than happy to come to you.
