Experienced Workers Compensation Lawyers Who Assist You with Your Queensland Claim
It doesn’t cost you anything to know where you stand
If you have suffered a physical or psychological injury in the execution of your employment in Queensland, you are eligible to lodge a Workers Compensation claim in this State with or without assistance from workers compensation lawyers. But with the help of Brisbane based Lyons Compensation Lawyers the process won’t be as daunting.
If your injury is the result of negligent actions of your employer or another employee, there are legal avenues you can explore for personal injury compensation under common law.
