Workplace Injuries &
Personal Injury Claims

A workplace injury can change your life in an instant. Whether it is a physical accident, an occupational disease, or a psychological injury caused by workplace stress, bullying, or trauma — you have rights under both the Queensland workers' compensation scheme and common law. Atlas Lawyers Employment guides injured workers through the claims process, protects their entitlements, and pursues full compensation when employer negligence is involved.

Psychological Injuries Are Fully Compensable

Mental health conditions — including anxiety, depression, and PTSD — caused or significantly contributed to by your work are covered under Queensland's workers' compensation scheme. You do not need to have suffered a physical injury to make a claim.

Our Process

Our Approach to Workplace Injury Matters

Assess Your Entitlements

We review the nature of your injury, how it occurred, and identify every avenue for compensation — both statutory and common law.

Support the Claim Process

We assist with lodging your WorkCover claim, respond to any dispute or rejection, and navigate the review process on your behalf.

Advise on Common Law

Where your employer's negligence contributed to your injury, we advise on common law damages — which can significantly exceed statutory entitlements.

Pursue Full Recovery

We pursue maximum compensation for your circumstances and ensure your rights during recovery and return to work are fully protected.
