How Long Will a Workers Compensation Claim Take?
In Australia, the duration of a workers’ compensation claim can vary widely. On average, it can take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 years to resolve, depending on the complexity of the injury, medical disputes, and disagreements over liability. Straightforward claims may be settled within a few months, but more complicated cases could take much longer.
At Wyatts Lawyers, our slip and fall injury lawyers will help you resolve the compensation matter quickly. We will assess your situation and give you a realistic estimation of how long the claim may take.
Can I Claim Compensation Through My Superannuation Insurance Policy?
On top of workers compensation, you may be able to make a claim through your superannuation insurance policy for:
Benefits | Details |
---|---|
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Benefits | If you are unable to perform your usual job or any other work related to your training and experience, you may be eligible for a TPD claim. |
Income Protection Benefits | This provides financial support if an injury or illness prevents you from earning income through your usual job |
Death Benefits | If the injury leads to death, death benefits may be paid to your partner, children, dependents or your estate. |
Can I sue my employer or any person under Common Law for my slip and fall work injury?
If your injury is (fully or partly) due to your employer’s or another party’s fault, you may be entitled to claim additional compensation under common law. Your eligibility depends on the state where the injury occurred, and there are time limits and complicated rules involved.
Common law claims can often include financial compensation for:
- Past and future loss of earnings or earning capacity
- Past and future loss of superannuation contributions
It’s important to consult with a lawyer to understand your entitlements and navigate the legal complexities involved.
