Important Tips for Your Construction Accident Claim

I was injured when I was working on a construction site. Am I able to make a claim against my employer or do I need to go and speak to the Union?

You are able to make a claim for workers compensation under the New South Wales workers compensation scheme.

You do not need to go and speak to the Union however, it is in your best interests to obtain legal advice on your injury and your workers compensation claim.

At Schreuder Partners we have achieved maximum workers compensation benefits for construction workers, so we understand how the construction industry works. At your first free no-obligation consultation our expert workers compensation lawyers will, explain what needs to be done to protect your workers compensation rights and the amount of compensation you are entitled to receive. We will ensure that you have notified your employer of your injury, as soon as possible and that you have seen your doctor to obtain a Work Cover medical certificate. We will also ensure that you comply with any time requirements in relation to making a claim for workers compensation as there are strict time limits in place for making a claim.
