What Are The Legal Costs?

You do not have to pay any legal costs in Workers Compensation Claims in NSW.   If you require legal assistance because you have a dispute with the Workers Compensation Insurer or they have denied liability, your solicitor can apply for funding to act on your behalf from WIRO. If WIRO after considering the Application concludes your Claim may have merit, they will usually provide funding for medical reports to assist in supporting your claim and for your lawyer to act on your behalf in relation to the dispute.
