"NO WIN, NO FEE" WORKERS COMPENSATION IN WA
In Western Australia, workers compensation is generally a no fault system. This means you usually do not have to prove your employer was at fault to make a claim. Full-time, part-time, casual and seasonal workers are covered, and contractors depending on the arrangement.
No Win, No Fee Workers Compensation Claims
MPK Lawyers offers no win, no fee arrangements for eligible workers compensation claims. You do not pay our professional fees while your claim is running. Our fees are payable only when the matter resolves, and only in accordance with the costs agreement you approve before we act.
MPK Lawyers helps injured workers
Workers compensation claims, serious work injury claims, weekly payments and medical expenses, common law negligence claims and WorkCover disputes. We act for injured workers across Perth and all of Western Australia.
Clear costs before you sign anything
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 are able to focus on your treatment.
