5. “After my accident the claims process was overwhelming. The
insurer was difficult to deal with and I didn’t know who to trust.
They offered me peanuts for my claim. I was lucky to find you.
Thank you for all the help, you were honest and upfront from
the start and the result was superb. All the very best to you and
your staff.
Marni, Narellan Vale

6. If your accident does fall under Work Cover, a workplace injury lawyer
will help fill out your application for workers compensation accurately
and best describe your injury and circumstances.
An expert workers compensation lawyer will also advise whether you
have a workplace personal injury claim, even though your injury did
not happen during work hours. This could include spraining your ankle
boarding a train to work, or being involved in a car accident going
home from work.
Medical advice and medical evidence is paramount when faced with a
workplace personal injury.

7. An expert workplace injury lawyer will
help advise you on:
• Gathering medical records and relevant evidence
• Refuting the claims of any independent doctors from
WorkCover

8. • Whether you have the right to seek additional medical
opinions to help support your claim
• Who is liable to pay for the medical reports and bills;
including any union assistance

9. If you have suffered a work-related accident, don’t be afraid
you will be fired. It is actually within your employer’s best
interests to keep you employed and to comply with the
accident compensation claim. So speak to an expert workers
compensation lawyer at Beilby Poulden Costello early, to
help clarify your rights and your employer’s legal obligations
to compensate your injury.

10. If your accident occurs due to the fault of your employer or
some third party you may have a right to bring a common
law claim for damages. This type of claim may be far more
substantial than your Work Cover claim. Our experienced
team of personal injury lawyers can advise you of your
rights and entitlements and ensure you get the
compensation you deserve.
