Understanding Work Injury Claim Time: What Slows or Speeds It Up?
1. Severity of the Injury
The greater the injury, the longer it may take to assess long-term impacts like:
- Rehabilitation needs
- Permanent damage
- Future earning capacity
2. Your Employer’s Cooperation
Sadly, not all employers play fair. Denials and delays are common — especially in warehousing, construction, or agency work.
3. Access to Evidence
The sooner we get:
- CCTV footage
- Accident book entries
- Witness statements
- GP or hospital records
4. Medical Assessment Timing
We arrange for an independent medical expert to assess your injury. Getting this appointment booked quickly keeps your claim moving.
5. Negotiation vs. Court
Most workplace injury claims settle out of court. But if your employer denies fault or the compensation offer is unfair, litigation may be required adding time, but protecting your rights.
