There is no catch. If you’ve made a claim, we’ll start work without any up-front payment.
Most of your fees are covered by the insurer, provided we settle outside of court, which happens the vast majority of the time.
Any outstanding amount of legal fees (if there are any) will come out of your final settlement.
That means you’ll never pay anything out of your own pocket when you hire WA Legal to manage your workers compensation claim.
Making a claim is about accessing insurance that is already in place to support injured workers.
Your employer has the legal obligation to have workers compensation insurance that covers all employees.
If you’re injured at work, you’re entitled to make a claim under that insurance. It also covers the majority your costs to seek legal representation by hiring workers compensation lawyers in Perth.
Even in the rare circumstance where your employer is not insured, you can still claim against Work Cover WA.
Construction work carries risk, and workers compensation exists to protect you if something goes wrong.
At WA Legal, we take the time to properly understand your situation, gather the right medical evidence, and ensure every aspect of your claim is considered. From lost income and treatment costs through to the long-term effects on your health and ability to work, we focus on building a case that stands up to scrutiny.
By preparing your claim thoroughly from the outset and managing the process carefully, we help reduce the risk of delays, disputes or undervaluation, giving you the best opportunity to achieve a fair and accurate outcome.
Not all workers compensation claims are accepted or valued correctly the first time. In some cases, claims are denied due to insufficient evidence or disputes about how the injury occurred. In others, compensation may not fully reflect the impact the injury has had on your ability to work and earn an income.
At WA Legal, we review the details of your claim, identify where things may have gone wrong, and work to strengthen your position. Whether it involves gathering additional medical evidence, clarifying how the injury occurred, or challenging an insurer’s assessment, we focus on ensuring your claim is properly considered and fairly valued.
Access to the right treatment is a critical part of recovery, but it is not always straightforward. Delays, limitations or disagreements around treatment can affect both your health and your claim.
We work to ensure that your treatment needs are properly recognised and supported as part of your workers compensation claim. By helping to align medical evidence with your condition and your work requirements, we aim to ensure you receive appropriate care that supports both your recovery and your long-term wellbeing.
Returning to work after an injury is not just about getting back on site or into the workplace as quickly as possible. It is about ensuring that the return is safe, appropriate, and sustainable for your condition.
At WA Legal, we help ensure that return-to-work arrangements take into account your medical advice, your capacity, and the demands of your role. This helps reduce the risk of further injury and supports a smoother transition back into the workforce when the time is right.
We’ll provide some advice, and whether we’ll be able to take your case.
Whether an injury occurs on the road or in a public place, compensation may be available through insurance.
Motor vehicle accidents are covered by Western Australia’s compulsory motor injury insurance scheme, while most businesses and public venues carry public liability insurance to protect members of the public.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income and the impact the injury has had on your life.
The team at WA Legal can help you understand your rights and guide you through the claims process.
Simple mistakes in paperwork, medical evidence or reporting can delay or even jeopardise your claim.
We help you avoid costly mistakes, deal with insurers, and ensure your claim reflects the true impact of your injury so that you can focus on recovery.
Not only do we help you to maximise your workers’ compensation claim, but also ensure that your return to work plan is fair and appropriate for your recover.

We’ll provide some advice, and whether we’ll be able to take your case.
You can make a claim yourself, but workers compensation claims can become complex, particularly when it comes to medical evidence, long-term impacts, and dealing with insurers. Getting advice early can help you avoid mistakes and ensure your claim is properly prepared.
In many cases, you can still access workers compensation even if the incident was partly your fault. The key factor is whether the injury is work-related.
Time limits apply to workers compensation claims in Western Australia, so it’s important to act promptly. Generally, you should report your injury to your employer as soon as possible and seek medical attention early so the incident is properly documented. Delays can make a claim more difficult to assess and may affect your ability to access compensation. Getting advice early can help ensure your claim is submitted correctly and within the required timeframes.
If your claim has been denied, it doesn’t necessarily mean the matter is final. Claims can be rejected for a range of reasons, including insufficient medical evidence or disputes about how the injury occurred. In many cases, these decisions can be reviewed or challenged. Having your claim assessed can help identify whether additional evidence or further steps may improve your position.
Workers compensation is designed to support injured workers while protecting their employment. Employers in Western Australia are required to have insurance in place to cover workplace injuries, so making a claim is about accessing that support rather than taking action against your employer personally. While every situation is different, there are protections in place to help support your return to work when it is safe to do so.
In most cases, you can choose your own treating doctor. Your doctor plays an important role in diagnosing your injury, managing your treatment, and providing the medical evidence needed to support your claim. It’s important that your doctor understands your work duties and how the injury affects your ability to perform them.
