Your Entitlements
If you are injured during your years of service as a Police Officer or Paramedic, you are entitled to make a claim for:
- All reasonably necessary medical expenses
- Make-up pay – where you’re back at work, but not back to your full hours or duties
- Lump-sum payments for ‘pain and suffering’. When you’ve suffered a permanent impairment of a body part due to an injury occurring on duty (such as a back injury at work)
Work Injury Damages Claims
If you sustained a work related injury in the last 30 years, the Australian Government has preserved your right to demand a claim for work injury damages, provided you’ve suffered an injury that is assessed at 15% (or more) of what is termed ‘Whole Person Impairment’.
If you are a pre-1988 Officer, there is no threshold.
We can also help with
- General advice when you’ve been off work a while and you think you can’t go back – helping you understand your ongoing entitlements;
- What Medical Discharge means for you;
- How to get your TPD lump sum;
- What happens once you leave.
No Win, No Pay
At Bourke Legal, we have a No Win-No Fee policy. What this means is that you do not pay legal fees unless your case is successful. If your case succeeds, that’s when we’ll charge our legal fees.
