How Workplace Accident Victims get Compensation in QLD
An injury suffered in the workplace can cause much more than physical pain. It can lead to loss of wages, emotional distress and significant treatment expenses, all of which can have life changing consequences. If you have been injured at work due to the negligence of an employer, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and rehabilitation costs through WorkCover.
Whether you were injured by unsafe equipment, an unsafe workplace process or a dangerous work environment, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you receive the compensation you deserve. Read on to find out how the civil lawyers at Resolute Legal can help you through this process.
