Workers Comp in Lade Vale — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Header and tractor seasons around Lade Vale leave backs stiff long before anyone calls it an injury, and livestock and machinery work can end a season in a moment. The claim runs on medical evidence, so the appointment that produces your Certificate of Capacity is the one that matters. One of our doctors does that examination. The physio that follows is funded by the claim.

2

Get your Certificate of Capacity

Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.

3

Notify your employer

You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
