Starting a new workers’ compensation claim in WA CONTACT FOYLE LEGAL When you have an injury in the course of your work it can be a scary experience. You are left in a situation where your whole world is turned upside down and you don’t know what will happen next. Most people in Western Australia are aware of the stigma associated with a workers’ compensation claim, and for that reason are reluctant to make a workers compensation claim. What they don’t consider, is that delaying reporting a claim, or a delay in making a claim will often make it harder to make a claim in the future, should they not make a full recovery from the effects of a work- related injury. For these reasons Foyle Legal strongly recommends informing your employer in writing as soon as possible after an injury, and if you have suffered an injury in the course of your work seeking legal advice about making a workers compensation claim as soon as possible. On a practical note, you are required to give notice of your injury to your employer under section 178 of the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981.
