If you have suffered an injury either at work or due to your employment, you may be eligible to make a claim for workers compensation. The worker’s compensation scheme applies to those injured at work or that have pre-existing injuries or illnesses that have been aggravated or worsened the nature of conditions of your work.
If you suffer an injury at work because of employer negligence, you may have further entitlements.
Work-related injuries can be particularly complicated because of the relationship you have with those you work with and your employer. Once insurers and medical experts become involved, you may inadvertently be waiving your rights to further benefits.
It is important that you seek legal assistance if you are the subject of a workplace injury because there are legislative time limits which may prevent you from making a claim in the future.

Personal injury law covers a very wide range of circumstances and people are often unsure whether they are entitled to personal injury compensation.
AC Lawyers always advises that you contact a law firm in order to determine whether or not you should make a compensation claim. That’s why our first consultation is free. Access to justice is a right for all, not a privilege. Personal injury matters can involve a great deal of complexity, and other less specialised law firms might mistakenly advise you that a matter is not worth pursuing. We believe each case should be judged on its own merits and we make sure to examine all avenues so that you have the best chance of receiving the compensation you deserve.
