If you’ve been injured at work or developed an illness because of your job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. This scheme is designed to cover your medical expenses, provide income support while you recover, and, in some cases, offer a lump sum payment if you are left with a permanent impairment.
Lodging a claim can feel complicated, and strict time limits apply. In South Australia, you generally have up to six months from the date of your injury to lodge a compensation claim. Acting quickly and seeking early advice from experienced workers’ compensation lawyers in Adelaide ensures your rights are protected from the start.
We help you understand what you’re entitled to, prepare your application properly, and give you the best chance of a successful outcome.
