Working With Our Workers Compensation Lawyers

You make the decisions about your claim. We provide the information, advice and practical support you need to make them, and we tell you about important developments in your matter as they happen, rather than leaving you to chase us for news.
An injury affects more than your work, and we know questions come up between updates. If something is unclear at any point, ask us. Clear answers are part of the service, whatever the size of the question.
Do I Have a Workers Compensation Claim in Marangaroo?
The first thing most insurers look at is whether you were working when the injury occurred. Because workers’ compensation in Western Australia is generally a no-fault scheme, the focus is on that connection rather than on blame.
Documents and details that help show you were working:
- Payslips or bank records showing payments from your employer.
- Rosters, timesheets or messages showing when and where you worked.
- A contract, offer letter or email describing your role.
- Names of colleagues or supervisors who know what happened.
Missing some of these items is common, especially for casual and short-term work. Tell us what you have, and we will explain what else could help.
