Personal Injury

The expert team at JDK Legal Services is here to help navigate you through any personal injury claim. We understand the legal process involved and can provide advice and assistance to ensure your claim is handled swiftly and efficiently.

At JDK Legal Services, you will receive a reply to your enquiry within 24 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) and talk to the same person throughout the process.

Have you suffered an injury as a result of an accident at work? You may be eligible to make a claim for workers’ compensation. This also applies to any injuries which occur at work or as a result of work and any pre-existing injury, illness or disease which is worsened by your employment.

You should report the incident to your employer, complete a WorkCover claim form and see your doctor to obtain a workers’ compensation medical certificate. The WorkCover claim form and medical certificate are lodged with your employer who will forward these documents on to the relevant insurance company.

If you claim is accepted by your employer’s insurer then you may think you don’t need our assistance. However, it is always a good idea to see a lawyer to make sure you are getting all of your legal entitlements and to make sure that you receive advice regarding the critical deadlines under the workers’ compensation system.

If you have been paid workers’ compensation payments you may find yourself in a position where the insurance company seeks to reduce or discontinue your payments.

Have you been involved in an accident? It doesn’t matter whether you were in a car or on a motor bike or cycling. As a first step, it is important to lodge a claim with the Insurance Commission of WA (“ICWA”).
