In Victoria, injured workers may be eligible to weekly compensation payments to replace lost wages during their rehabilitation. These crucial payments are intended to provide financial stability while you concentrate on healing.
However, navigating disputes with insurers over these entitlements can be daunting.
It is important for you to know that many determinations of a WorkCover insurer can be challenged. You should obtain prompt advice about the determination you have received, your chances of successfully challenging that determination and what that would involve.
The scheme surrounding workers compensation and your entitlements is complex and there are strict time limits that apply. It is important that you get appropriate legal advice from the outset to ensure that your rights are protected.
We can help you navigate the scheme, maximise your entitlements and make the decisions that are right for your future.
