Arnold Dallas McPherson are Victoria’s leading law firm for stevedores seeking compensation for injuries at work.
Stevedoring is physically demanding, high-risk work. Injuries on the job are common whether from lifting, falls, machinery, or unsafe conditions.
As a stevedore, you are entitled to a WorkCover Claim if you are injured while working on the docks, driving straddles over uneven surfaces, loading/unloading cargo, or performing any other duties associated with your role.
Extremely serious injuries have been suffered by stevedores which have ruined a worker’s ability to earn money, both as a stevedore and in any other employment.
In addition to WorkCover, stevedores are regularly entitled to compensation under common law if their injury is caused by the negligence of another party, or if WorkCover does not fully cover the costs of the injury.
