Assess and build your claim

Our experienced local workers’ compensation lawyers in Perth and Joondalup will gather the necessary documentation and evidence to build and support your claim and ensure you achieve the best outcome.

Negotiation

Our trusted workers’ compensation lawyers will negotiate on your behalf with the workers’ compensation insurer, to ensure you maximise your claim.

Settlement

At Stephen Browne we’re committed to ensuring you receive the compensation you’re entitled to, so you can recover and move forward with your life.

Notify acceptance of the claim

Within 14 days of receiving the documents, your employer’s insurer must notify you that your claim has been accepted, is disputed, or is pending. It would be ‘pending’ if your employer’s insurer needs more information to accept or dispute your claim. Your employer or their workers’ compensation insurer may then refer you to a doctor that they choose, before deciding on their acceptance of your claim. There are time limits and rules surrounding these medical referrals, which your work accident lawyers can help you with.

Obligation-free claim review

If you have made a claim, Stephen Browne’s No Win No Fee* local lawyers can review it to ensure you maximise the compensation you're entitled to claim.

Excellent service from start to finish. Stephen, Bianca, Michelle and Mr. Pratt were upfront from the beginning and always kept me informed throughout the entire process.
