Injured at work in Queensland?
Workplace injury claims
If you have been injured at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation. Different claims and entitlements may be available to you, and this is dependent on your specific circumstances.
Depending on your situation, you may be able to make a workers’ compensation claim, or, in some cases, a work injury damages claim.
Turner Freeman’s workplace injury lawyers can talk you through what happened, explain what you may be entitled to, and help you work out the next steps.

Your options after a workplace injury
The type of claim that may be available to you depends on the circumstances of your workplace injury.
Workers’ compensation claims
If you are injured or become ill because of your work, workers’ compensation may provide financial support while you recover. This can include payments for lost wages, medical and rehabilitation expenses, and in some cases a lump sum payment for permanent impairment.
Work injury damages claims
In some circumstances, you may also be able to make a work injury damages claim if your injuries arose from the negligence of your employer. A work injury damages claim includes amounts for pain and suffering, past and future lost income, and past and future medical expenses.
Not sure which option applies to you?
