Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions people ask about Workers Compensation in WA.
Many people can lodge and manage a workers compensation claim themselves. However, you may wish to obtain advice from a workers compensation lawyer if there is delay, rejection, or dispute, or if there are issues about liability, capacity, weekly payments, medical expenses, or return-to-work requirements.
Promptly report the injury to your employer, obtain a First Certificate of Capacity from your doctor, complete a Workers Compensation Claim Form, and give the original claim form and certificate to your employer. For an insured employer, the employer has 7 days after the claim is made to forward it to its insurer. The insurer must notify the worker of its liability decision within 14 days after receiving the claim.
Solicitors analyse the insurer’s reasons, obtain medical and work-related evidence, and advise on options to challenge the decision through the dispute resolution processes under the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023 (WA). Because there are deadlines, it is sensible to seek advice promptly.
Please contact us to confirm whether we can assist you if you are located in Ellenbrook or surrounding areas. Depending on availability and your circumstances, appointments may be offered in person, by phone, or by video.
A psychological injury may be compensable in WA where the statutory requirements are met, but exclusions can apply (including where an injury is wholly or predominantly caused by reasonable administrative action taken in a reasonable manner). Because these claims can be evidence-heavy and may be disputed, you may wish to obtain advice from a workers compensation lawyer about eligibility, medical evidence, and how to present the claim.
When looking for workplace injury lawyers near you, consider firms that practise in workers compensation and workplace injury matters under the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023 (WA). It can help to check experience, communication options (in person, phone, or video), and whether the firm can provide clear information about likely fees and costs for your type of matter.
Full-time, part-time, casual, seasonal, piecework, and commission employees can all be covered. Workers compensation is generally a no-fault scheme in the sense that you do not need to prove employer negligence, but eligibility and entitlement requirements still apply. Volunteers are generally not workers under the scheme, while working directors, contractors and subcontractors may be workers depending on their working arrangements.
