Workers Compensation

Hunt & Hunt has been providing workers compensation services for over 70 years.  Today, we remain one of the few firms operating in this niche area of law.  

Our interest in workers compensation extends beyond handling claims to having a deep involvement in the insurance industry generally.

We have defended claims on behalf of large government agencies, self insurers, and large and small private employers across the broad industry spectrum. These claims have encompassed all injuries, including complex psychiatric claims, catastrophic claims and claims for dust disease.

We have defended claims encompassing every type of industrial condition. These extend from those involving lump sums, all types of claims for weekly payments both in the Workers Compensation Commission and at common law, death claims, medical expenses and domestic assistance.

We advise numerous employers in the private and government sectors regarding the termination of long term workers compensation recipients.  This advice has resulted in clients successfully avoiding unfair dismissal and discrimination claims.  We also assist employers in developing strategies to minimise the cost of workers compensation by reducing the incidence of claims.
