INJURED AT WORK LAWYERS
IRO FUNDED
In Sydney, there are several instances in which our workers compensation lawyer can seek IRO funding. Some of these include:
- You sustained an injury at work and need help filing a claim or need other legal guidance
- Your insurance company is disputing your claim
- You want a lump sum payment for your injury
- Your insurer is refusing to pay for a medical treatment prescribed by a doctor
- You need to dispute the weekly compensation your insurer is providing
How IRO Funding Works
The IRO operates under a presumption in favour of funding. They typically grant funding in four separate stages. Keep reading to learn more.
Stage 1: Preliminary Legal Advice Funding
In this stage, the IRO will provide you with funding to receive early legal advice about a potential or existing claim or dispute. This will allow our NSW workmen comp lawyers to complete a worker’s injury claim form on your behalf and follow up with your insurer and doctors.
Stage 2: Investigations and Claims
Once we file a claim, you may be eligible for Stage 2 funding. This funding enables our Sydney workmen compensation lawyers to conduct further investigations. This can include obtaining medical evidence and making reasonable attempts to reach an early resolution.
Stage 3: Proceedings in the Personal Injury Commission
If IRO believes that the worker has an arguable case and has made reasonable attempts to resolve the workman comp claim or dispute, it will grant Stage 3 funding. This allows us to bring the matter to the Workers’ Compensation Committee in NSW, which will determine the case’s outcome. The IRO will only grant Stage 3 funding if the dispute concerns more than $3,000, there is financial hardship, or if it is in the public’s best interest.
Stage 4: Appeals and Reconsiderations
In some cases, you may need to appeal the commission’s decision. In that case, the IRO may authorize additional funding for representation by a barrister to appeal the decision.

What is Workers Compensation?

If you’re searching for dependable workers comp lawyers in Sydney then make Care Lawyers your first choice. We’re here to offer the legal advice and emotional support you need.
Do I need a solicitor to claim workers compensation?
In summary, whilst it is possible to file a workers compensation claim without the help of a professional lawyer, it is important to be aware of the potential risks to the outcome of your claim. Having an experienced workers compensation lawyer, such as one from our competent team at Care Lawyers, can prevent the opposing insurance company from using legal tactics to deny or reduce the compensation you receive.
The process of dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers can be difficult, but with the help of our legal team, we can ensure that you have the necessary knowledge and resources to navigate the process and have a fair chance at success.
How Will I Know If I Can Make Workers Compensation Claims In Sydney?
If you have been injured at work, or become ill as a result of your job, you may be entitled to Workers’ Compensation. This is a type of insurance that provides financial assistance and medical benefits to employees who are unable to work due to their injuries or illness.
Several different criteria must be met to make a successful worker’s compensation claim in Sydney. First, you must be an employee of the company that you are making the claim against. Second, your injuries or illness must have been caused by your work duties or as a result of your working environment.
If you believe that you may be eligible to make a worker’s compensation claim in Sydney, the first step is to contact your employer and notify them of your work-related injury or illness.

Then, contact the team at Care Lawyers to learn how we can help you achieve the best outcome in your claim. We are truly the best workers compensation lawyers as our clients are always our main priority.
If You’ve Been Injured At Work, Or Between Job Sites, You May Be Eligible For Workers Compensation Benefits.
Workers’ compensation is a ‘no fault’ system in NSW. This means that, unless you have been guilty of misconduct, your entitlement to benefits will depend on whether your work-related injury arose out of your employment rather than who was at fault.

What Can I Claim Workers Compensation For?
To understand your options and eligibility for a claim, our workman compensation lawyers are here to help.

- payments for loss of income;
- medical, hospital, and rehabilitation or other medical expenses;

- Needing a carer, in-home nurse or ongoing support to get around.

Daniel was very punctual and didn’t miss a beat in anything that was thrown our way and I don’t know what the outcome would’ve been had I stuck with my previous lawyers. The biggest thing during a compensation case I found was assurance and honesty and I definitely had that whilst feeling confident every step of the way. If you feel all help is lost I can’t recommend and thank this firm enough. Don’t waste your time going to another firm where you’re just another number, these guys are the real deal"
