Impairment Claims and WorkCover
At WORKFORCE LEGAL our guaranteed capped fee arrangement ensures that legal fees do not erode the benefit of your impairment payment. Most impairment claims are resolved without court action.

At WORKFORCE LEGAL we:
  • Offer a NO WIN - NO CHARGE fee arrangement.

  • Have fees based on the Practitioners Remuneration Order, the official scale that should be used for non litigated matters. We do NOT use an "in house" scale that usually greatly inflate charges.

  • Ensure that legal fees do not erode your impairment payment by giving you a simple guarantee.
We will discuss your injuries with you and provide you with an estimate of the impairment payment you may receive. We will act on a No Win No Charge basis and agree a guaranteed cap on our fees with you. This means that if our fees for transacting your impairment payment, after deducting any contribution from WorkCover, exceed that cap we will not charge you for the excess.

In most cases our guarantee provides that fees for transacting your impairment claim will not exceed 10%-15% of your impairment payment lump sum entitlement. The level of this cap will depend on the complexity of your impairment claim.

In larger impairment claims, our fees will usually be well below the cap amount. In smaller impairment claims our guarantee ensures maximum recovery to you.

If, in the unlikely event, litigation is necessary to obtain your impairment payment we will offer you our litigation fee arrangements (see below) which are based on Court Scales and not expensive "in house" scales.
