Medical Evidence in workers compensation claim
Medical evidence plays an important role in determining the acceptance of your workers compensation claim and the quantum of your compensation payout. If you have not sought medical attention immediately after the accident, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a valid workers compensation claim but the claim may be more difficult. Foyle Legal may be able to help you to get the most out of your personal injury claim.
What to after a work injury?
Ordinarily, injured workers are expected to seek medical attention promptly after the accident at work. This is because:
- Medical treatment provides early treatment which helps with recovery
- If you want to make workers compensation claim, you need to submit your workers compensation claim form together with your first certificate of capacity, and you will need to seek medical attention to obtain the first medical certificate
If you don’t seek medical attention immediately after your workplace accident, the insurer may contend that your injury is not directly related to your work accident.
Workers Compensation Payout
The workers compensation system is designed to help injured workers cope with the financial burden while they are injured and can not work. This is assuming that your workplace injury is causing a tangible loss to you.
At the end of a claim workers are often elegible for a payout, but it is important to have the right evidence and that is where Foyle Legal can help you.
What are the circumstances that it’s not worthy to make a workers comp claim?
While you are entitled to make a workers compensation claim, in some circumstances where your injury is VERY minor and has not resulted in any tangible loss, then it is probably not worth it to make a workers compensation claim. For example, if you had a small paper cut from binding documents at work, the injury caused no loss tangible loss to you and it is probably not worth your time to claim workers compensation.
How much does workers compensation lawyer charge?
Workers compensation lawyers may charge differently in accordance with the fee agreement. Foyle Legal charges in accordance with the rate specified by WorkCover WA for WorkCover WA proceedings and in accordance with a scale of costs set by the government for general workers compensation work.
How much will no win no fee workers comp lawyers take from my workers compensation payout?
