A mental health claim seeks compensation for psychological dysfunction caused by a traumatic event. This includes workplace injuries, accidents, abuse or medical negligence, where the mental injury was predominantly caused, or worsened, by someone else’s actions or failure to act.
Yes. Not all personal injury claims involve physical injuries. If you’ve experienced psychological dysfunction or mental health issues due to a traumatic event, you may have a potential claim even without a shoulder injury or other physical harm.
Medical evidence is essential. This may include reports from your medical practitioner, diagnosis using the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, and assessments from an independent medical examiner. Pre-existing psychological conditions should also be disclosed.
The claims process will depend on the type of claim you are making; for instance, a WorkCover claim will be processed differently, with different time limits than TAC, public liability, and common law claims. Get in touch with our team for a free assessment and advice on the best course of action.
Depending on the type of claim, you may be entitled to financial support such as weekly payments, medical treatment coverage, therapy, retraining or rehabilitation, a lump sum payment or a permanent impairment benefit. Some claims provide access to psychological support during the claims process to assist with managing traumatic events during the legal process.
Yes, not all workplace injuries are physical. A workers compensation claim may cover mental disorders predominantly caused by work-related stress. However, the stress must be linked to specific events or behaviours, not general dissatisfaction or interpersonal conflict at work. The laws for psychological injury claims for injured workers have also recently changed, which you can learn more about here.
You can still make a claim if a traumatic event aggravated a pre-existing psychological injury. The key is proving that your work injury or other incident was the predominant cause of the worsening condition. This can generally be shown through an independent medical examination.
A common law claim seeks lump sum compensation if your mental health issues were caused by another party’s negligence. This applies in both workplace injury claims and non-workplace claims, such as abuse, accidents or negligent treatment.
The timeframe depends on the type of compensation claim, the evidence required and whether liability is disputed. Claims involving significant behavioural or mental disorders often take longer due to the complexity of medical and legal assessments. Most claims are resolved within a year or two, but some claims may extend if there are complex circumstances or delays.
Psychological injury claims are complex and fact-specific. An experienced lawyer can assess your legal entitlements, explain the whole process clearly and provide a personal approach with utmost professionalism throughout your mental health claim.
