About Our Workers Compensation Lawyers Midland
A conversation with us can end in one of three ways: you may decide to lodge a claim, to wait and monitor your recovery, or to take no action. Each is a legitimate choice, and Midland workers are free to make it for themselves after hearing the options.
We aim to give a candid assessment, including weaknesses we see, rather than reassurance alone. That means explaining what evidence supports your position, what is missing and what may be questioned. Appointments by telephone or video can be arranged where availability allows.
If you are deciding whether to claim, we can help you weigh the decision. If a decision has been made, we can explain it. If you are recovering, we can help plan your return to work, and for serious injuries we advise on common law matters and WorkCover WA processes.
Do I Have a Workers Compensation Claim in Midland?
Three points are worth knowing. First, workers compensation in Western Australia is generally no-fault. Second, casual, part-time and permanent employees are covered, whereas contractors depend on the arrangement actually in place. Third, the injury needs to be connected with work, which is assessed on the evidence. Early advice can often clarify how these points apply to you.
Claims commonly begin with circumstances like these:
- You noticed pain or stiffness after each shift.
- Someone witnessed the incident and can confirm what happened.
- Your doctor has linked your symptoms to your work duties.
- You have needed time off, treatment or lighter duties.
If you have already spoken to your employer, insurer or doctor about the injury, tell us what was said and when. A brief outline helps us see the full picture.

- Note the date, time, and name of each caller.
- Ask for any requests to be put in writing.
- Take time to consider each request and gather any documents you need.
- Keep copies of each reply and ask us if unsure.
Questions to Ask About Costs
Eligible claims may qualify for no win, no fee terms, explained before you commit.
Before agreeing, it helps to understand three things: what you would pay and when, which costs sit apart from professional fees and what happens if the claim does not proceed as hoped. A written costs agreement should address each of these points, so you can compare them with your expectations before deciding, and we can clarify anything.
Eligibility for no win, no fee terms is assessed individually, and not every claim will qualify. If your claim does not, we will say so and explain why, so that you can choose what to do next. Questions are always welcome, and you may take the agreement away.
No win, no fee workers compensation
MPK Lawyers offers no win, no fee arrangements for eligible workers compensation claims. Our fees are payable only when the matter resolves, and only in accordance with the costs agreement you approve before we act.
We explain the costs position in plain language before you sign. If report fees, medical evidence or other disbursements may be required, we tell you how those are handled before they are incurred. There are no surprises, so you can focus on your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical concerns about health, messages, witnesses, daily tasks and privacy can arise at any point during a claim. These answers are general suggestions, and they are not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances.
Seek medical advice promptly if you feel noticeably worse, and call emergency services if you think it is urgent. Note what happened and when, and mention it at your next appointment.
Keep emails short, factual and polite, and avoid guessing about matters you do not know. State the claim number, say what you are asking for, and keep a copy of each message.
Write down the witness's name, what they saw, and any contact details you hold. Tell us as early as possible, because options for obtaining a statement may depend on the circumstances.
Tell your doctor which tasks are hardest, as this can inform treatment and support. Keep a brief, dated note of the difficulties and ask us what help may be available in practice.
Store papers and files somewhere secure, and share them only with people who need them. Check with us before sending documents to anyone else, and keep digital copies protected with a password.
