WorkCover Claims

The WorkCover system is complex - there have been over 100 amending Acts to the legislation since its inception in 1986.  It is often difficult for injured workers to ensure they receive all benefits and entitlements.

We can help you deal with WorkCover, your nominated insurance company handling your claim or your rehabilitator.  We can also assist in resolving harassment or discrimination in the work place.

We can help you negotiate lump sums for permanent impairment and redemptions.

If you have been unfortunate enough to be injured at work, you would have no doubt received numerous letters from the insurance company handling your claim.  Often, correspondence from the insurer is difficult to interpret.  Many of these letters constitute important decisions which affect your rights.  Usually, you only have one month to challenge decisions that may be made by the insurer handling your claim.

At Beger & Co, we can assist you in challenging various decisions made by your insurance claims handler and we can discuss with you the broader strategic issues to resolve your cliam.

At Beger & Co, we also offer specialist assistance in relation to “old claims” under the previous Workers Compensation legislation.  If you have a long standing injury we can advise you as to your Workers Compensation and common law  (ie: pain and suffering) entitlements.

Please Contact us on 8362 6400 or email us should you have any questions or if we may be of assistance to you.
