Work Injury Claims

Many people spend more time at work than in their own home. So, it makes sense that workers have the right to a safe work environment to perform their job.

Work Injury Claims.

Injuries At Work

Depending on the cause of the injury, there are different claims that can be made.

Statutory benefits can compensate you for your time off work and your reasonable and necessary medical expenses associated with the injury.

If your injury occurred because of the negligence of the employer, whether it was through an act, or failure to act, you may be able to claim common law damages. This means that you could claim compensation for pain and suffering, loss of income, medical costs and other out of pocket expenses.

Injuries Related To Work

If you can demonstrate the relationship between your employment and the injury, claims may also be made for injuries suffered on the way to work, on your lunch break or when receiving treatment for a different work injury.
