Workers compensation<\/a> is a form of payment that can be made when an employee sustains an injury in the course of their job.\u00a0 It\u2019s sometimes abbreviated to \u201cworkers comp\u201d and people often assume it refers to physical injuries. Our workers compensation lawyers Brisbane team will help define is term more.<\/p>\n However, the definition is broader than it appears at first glance.\u00a0 Workers compensation can be claimed for the obvious injuries (think a chef cutting their hand with a knife), but also applies to injuries that develop slowly over time, such as a repetitive strain injury, and to psychological injuries<\/a>. Our experienced workers compensation lawyers in Brisbane can assist in all of these circumstances.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”gcid-1114b1d7-ef63-48d8-b398-8f7106760828″ divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”10%” custom_margin=”||5px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-1114b1d7-ef63-48d8-b398-8f7106760828%22:%91%22color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Psychological injuries cause a negative impact on a person\u2019s mental health and might include:<\/strong><\/p>\n These issues could develop as a result of a clearly identifiable instance (eg. a cashier held up in a robbery) or as a slow accumulation of stress (eg. from workplace bullying, excessive workload or inappropriate working conditions).<\/p>\n A worker may be able to make a workers compensation claim if:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/morganclifford.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Expert-Workers-Compensation-Lawyers-in-Brisbane.jpg” alt=”Workers compensation lawyers in Brisbane can assist in all of these circumstances.” title_text=”Expert Workers Compensation Lawyers in Brisbane” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Of course, there are requirements that need to be met in order to be successful with the claim.<\/p>\n According to Safe Work Australia<\/a> a worker might be able to receive compensation if \u201cthe worker meets the scheme\u2019s definition of worker or deemed worker; and work is a significant contributing factor to the psychological injury\u201d.
