Workers Compensation

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington provides expert legal services in Personal Injury Law.

If you are injured at work as a result of your duties, your employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance can provide you with financial support and other benefits to aid your recovery. Its goal is to help you recover, receive treatment, and compensate for lost wages.

Claims on Workers’ Compensation insurance are funded by the Independent Review Office (“IRO”) which aims to ensure insurers make liability decisions that are fair and consistent. IRO is an independent third party. Michael Evans of our office is an approved provider under IRO and can assist you in obtaining funding from IRO, obtaining medical records and expert reports, and corresponding on your behalf. This means your legal fees will be funded by IRO.

We understand the many facets that make up Workers’ Compensation claims and will provide you with the expertise and support required to help you achieve a favourable outcome.
