What should I do if I have been injured at work?

​If you have been injured at work or as a result of work, you should seek medical advice from a doctor/treatment provider as soon as possible.  Focusing on your recovery is extremely important, but it is also important to think about whether you can make a claim against your employer for workers’ compensation.
It is compulsory for all employers to have workers’ compensation insurance in place and most employers in Queensland have insurance cover through WorkCover Queensland (you may have heard of them).

Generally, a will cannot be changed after death, but there are exceptions:
 

• Family provision claims – A court may order changes if someone was unfairly left out.
• Informal wills – If a document expresses the deceased’s true intentions but wasn’t properly signed, a court may recognise it.
• Executor agreements – Sometimes, beneficiaries agree to distribute assets differently from the will, but legal steps must be followed.

If you need help with estate disputes, we can guide you through the legal process.
