Workplace injuries aren’t always physical—psychological trauma, like PTSD or chronic stress from a traumatic event, can be just as debilitating. In Brisbane, WorkCover claims can cover psychological injuries if work was a significant contributing factor. Carter Capner Law highlights that proving this requires medical evidence and a clear link to workplace events, such as bullying or witnessing a serious accident. Compensation may include time off work, therapy costs, or even lump-sum payments for permanent impairment. Navigating these claims can be tricky, as employers may argue the stress stemmed from “reasonable management action.” Have you experienced psychological trauma at work? Share your story or ask how expert lawyers can help you build a strong case for the compensation you deserve.
