Workers who need advice in relation to making a workers’ compensation claim can consult compensation claim lawyers for assistance. Workers who sustain work related injuries may be entitled to receive compensation from their employers under workers compensation regulations in New South Wales. The injured worker has several duties to perform before he becomes fully eligible to make the claim. First and foremost, the employer must be notified of the injury so that the employer can inform the Scheme Agent or insurer to take the next steps. In every place of work, there will be a registry of injuries, and the injured worker should make sure that his name, the date as well as the other information relating to the injury are included in that. When the worker sees a doctor to receive treatments, he must get a WorkCover medical certificate completed by the doctor. By signing the WorkCover medical Certificate the injured worker should indicate that the doctor is nominated as his treating doctor and that the doctor can release information which will be necessary for the insurer as well as the employer to prepare the injury management and the worker’s rehabilitation plans. The medical certificate should then be handed over to the employer along with the bills and receipts for treatment. What is more, the worker is required to assist the employer as well as the insurer in development and implementation of the injury management plan. If the employer, insurer or the Scheme agent makes any additional requests the worker may be required to comply with those as well. However, if the worker is not certain as to whether he should comply with a particular request made by the employer, the insurer or the Scheme Agent, it may be advisable to consult compensation claim lawyers for legal advice.
