Our Approach to WorkCover Claims

Being injured at work shouldn’t cost you twice—first through the injury itself, and then through financial hardship while you recover. We understand that WorkCover claims can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with pain, treatment, and uncertainty about your future. Our experienced WorkCover lawyers are here to shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on your recovery.

WorkCover in Victoria provides essential benefits including medical expenses, income support, and compensation for permanent impairment. However, navigating the system can be complex, and insurance companies often have different priorities than injured workers. That’s where our expertise becomes invaluable.

We handle all types of workplace injury claims, including:

  • Physical injuries from accidents, falls, or repetitive strain
  • Occupational illnesses from exposure to harmful substances
  • Psychological injuries, including work-related stress and trauma
  • Aggravation of pre-existing conditions due to work
  • Journey claims for injuries travelling to or from work

Our approach is built on thorough preparation and unwavering advocacy. We conduct comprehensive research into your case, working with leading medical experts and barristers to build the strongest possible claim. When we sit across from WorkCover representatives, we present our case with complete confidence in your entitlement to full benefits and fair compensation under the law.

We understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimise claims, and we’re prepared for every challenge they might present. Our deep knowledge of WorkCover legislation, combined with our understanding of how workplace injuries impact real families, means we fight not just for immediate benefits, but for your long-term security.

Our unique No Win, No Fee OR Expenses* policy ensures that should we not achieve a successful outcome, you won’t face any financial burden. Most of our WorkCover claims are resolved through negotiation, but we’re always prepared to take your case to court if that’s what it takes to secure fair compensation.

Our Values as a Firm

Our team understands that workplace injuries don’t just affect you—they impact your entire family. Lost income, medical expenses, and uncertainty about the future create stress that goes far beyond the physical injury.

We’ve won landmark WorkCover cases that have set important precedents for injured workers across Victoria. But beyond individual victories, we’re committed to improving workplace safety standards and ensuring that WorkCover continues to serve the needs of working people. When you choose us, you’re not just getting legal representation—you’re joining a legacy of advocacy for workers’ rights.
