Workers Compensation

If you injure yourself at work the first thing you should do is seek medical help. You will also need to inform your supervisor, manager or HR manager that you have been injured while on the job. It is imperative that you advise your employer as soon as possible as time limits do apply.

When seeking medical treatment you should always advise your Doctor of how you injuries were sustained. It is important that this is noted down in your medical records. If you have been injured at work and are unsure of your rights AJB Stevens can help. We will be able to tell you whether you are entitled to compensation and advise of any strict time limits that apply to your case.

The compensation entitlements you can claim is dependant on your case. No two cases are the same. Once your AJB Stevens workers compensation expert has assessed your situation they will be able to advise all of the entitlements you can claim.
Generally, in most cases, you can claim for:

– Loss of income
– Hospital expenses
– Rehabilitation Costs
– Home Assistance
– Pain and Suffering
– Loss of Life Enjoyment

Strict time limits do apply to workers compensation claims. While these time limits differ state to state it is advised to contact AJB Stevens as soon as possible. Claim lodgement dates can be time sensitive but with the help of a workers compensation expert, you will ensure all lodgement deadlines are met.
