When you have sustained an injury at work usually one of the first persons you see for advice is your local doctor. Your doctor then takes on a role as the “nominated treating doctor” for the purposes of the Workers Compensation Scheme.
Beilby Poulden Costello Lawyers has had significant success in claiming work injury damages on behalf of those workers who are severely injured in a work accident. Work injury damages are payable if your injury was caused by your employer for negligence as a result of that employer’s failure to take reasonable care of you whilst in the course of employment. A claim for work injury damages may only be made where you have been said to suffer a whole person impairment of at least 15%.
Injury management is the prompt, safe and long term return to work of an injured worker. It attempts to include the treatment of your injury, rehabilitation back to work, retraining into a new skill or new job and liaison with your employer.
