Getting injured at work and living with an occupational disease can have some serious negative effects on the quality of your life. Workplace injuries include spinal cord injuries and other health issues. These lead to many claims against employers. In Queensland, there are around 3,000 common law claims for workplace injuries by employees each year.
It can affect your pay, your family, and also society at large. If you've contracted a disease and require medical treatment as a result of a work-related injury, you're eligible for workers' compensation as part of your entitlements. This makes workers' compensation insurance so crucial. The Australian government also legislates for workers compensation entitlements in every state, Queensland included.
Sometimes an occupational disease treatment requires extensive medical expenses. This may lead you to pursue your workers' compensation claims in your local community. The workers' compensation you receive is based entirely on your unique work-related injury.
