Worksafe (Tasmania)

Tasmania WorkSafe Compensation

Workers compensation laws under the Tasmanian jurisdiction are difficult and complex to understand and can leave you in a stressful position with loss of wages and no access to treatment to name a few areas of difficulty and frustration. It is therefore imperative that if you are injured at work you seek legal advice about all of your potential rights and entitlements. At Angela Sdrinis Legal our goal is to help you through the entire process and obtain the most successful outcome in your favour.

It is very important that if you are injured at work you obtain a workers compensation certificate from your doctor and complete a workers compensation claim form and submit these to your employer. The workers compensation laws in Tasmania have strict timeframes regarding the making of a claim, therefore we recommend that a claim be lodged as soon as possible after an injury has occurred and you obtain advice from one of our specialist team members to assist you through the process. 

If you have been severely injured at work and it can be established that the injury was caused by the employer’s negligence or a co-worker, it may be possible to pursue a common law claim for damages in the Supreme Court of Tasmania. The injuries team at Angela Sdrinis Legal will fully investigate this potential and pursue a claim on your behalf if negligence and the necessary thresholds required to make such a claim can be established.
