[TOWNSVILLE, 03/22/2019] — Connolly Suthers Lawyers has provided Townsville and the rest of North Queensland with professional legal services for well over a century. To assist clients, the firm has several teams of lawyers who specialise in different fields of law, including compensation.

Legal Advice for Compensation Claims

Work-related injuries and illnesses, particularly those that result from negligence or imprudence, are often eligible for compensation from the business. As well as the immediate physical pain and emotional distress, the afflicted party may also suffer life-changing consequences because of the incident.

Work-related injuries are covered by the Workers’ Compensation insurance which is a legal requirement for business. To make a claim, the injured party must complete the WorkCover claim form and attain a medical certificate in the time limit provided.

Connolly Suthers Lawyers helps clients determine if they should pursue a personal injury or compensation claim. Moreover, its team of lawyers will assist clients by educating them on their rights with regard to how much they can claim financially and what particulars they should be mindful of during the process. The firm works hard to ensure that clients achieve a successful outcome from their legal action in a timely manner.

Knowing Your Rights in the Workplace

Employers are obligated to provide their employees with a safe environment that is free from discrimination. There are safeguards in place, courtesy of national policies, that ensure employees receive the pay and benefits they are entitled to as a member of the business.

Employees, on their part, are encouraged to take the initiative to learn more about their rights in the workplace. This serves to protect them from unfair treatment and to inform them of what they are entitled to, particularly in situations where they are inconvenienced or injured whilst working for the company.
