Acting to Get You the Best Possible Outcome
We act on behalf of the claimant and ensure that his/her hearing loss claim has the best possible outcome. The main purpose of the claim is the monetary compensation, the lump sum award which, if awarded, will comply with the hearing loss compensation table. The secondary purpose is the medical and like expenses aspect of the claim, that in this case is a good pair of hearing aids at no cost to the claimant. If monetary compensation is not possible, then we explore the possibility of the free acquisition of hearing aids only.
Compensation for hearing loss claims can be tricky, as the WorkSafe/Comcare agents tend to reject them quite often without sound reasons. That is where we come in with our years of experience in the field. We know how to contest, when to contest and if we should contest any decisions we believe are not rightful to our client. We support our clients as best we can, many times sponsoring their expenses if we believe they have a good case.
