WICA vs Common Law

Our client was a lorry driver involved in industrial accident and he was injured while unloading some heavy items. He did not know how to make a work injury claim and how much he could receive. His original assessment under WICA was low at $38,000.

We reviewed his claim and advised to pursue his claim under common law. With our advice, our client successfully received $75,000, almost 2 times his initial claim amount in about 9 months.

Our client was so overjoyed, he thanked us so many times.

4 Times the Initial Claim Amount

Our client approached DLLC after receiving an exceptionally low assessment from WICA. With an issued notice of assessment of about $6,000 and with extremely limited time to act, he was dissatisfied and confused about what do no next. Timing was critical.

Having reviewed his industrial accident claim and advised him to pursue a claim under common law, DLLC ultimately settled the claim at $23,000, about 4 times the initially awarded amount under WICA.

Twice the Initial Claim Amount

Our client slipped and fall at his workplace. He approached us for help. He was assessed under WICA to receive about $21,000. With the experience of our lawyers, DLLC assessed his claim and advised him to object to his notice of assessment on the quantum. After his medical board review within 3 months, his assessment was increased to $41,000. It was about 2 times of his initial claim amount.

Additional Claims for Undetected Injuries

Our client suffered some serious injuries but due to the severity of his main injuries, some of his other less serious injuries went undetected which meant that his claim assessment was much lower. We helped him to retrieve the necessary medical evidence to support his additional injuries claims. 

With some persistence, DLLC successfully increased his claims from $32,000 to $71,000 more than 2X his initial claim.

“My industrial accident case was very well handled by DLLC team. It was great that DLLC could settle my claim so quickly in 8 months. I feel so relieved that the lawyers resolved my matter with such speed and ease.”

“Rekha has completed the overall documentation for this industrial accident claim without giving us any hassle. I would definitely need to thank DL Law and Rekha to completing this process within such a good time frame.”

“The whole team of DL Law Corporation are professional. I am extremely satisfied with how they handled my wife’s case against a salon. My family would like to thank all the staff in DL LAW CORPORATION. Especially to Mr Anil and to Mr Roy. God bless and I pray that DLLC Law flies sky high in the future. Thank you.”

“Thank you DL Law Corporation. Mr Punia is a very humble person and helped a lot with my case. He’s always ready to help the needy people and the best thing is that he always puts service over fees and offered satisfactory results.”

“I’m pleased that DL Law Corporation handled my case very well. I am very thankful to Ms Prasanna and her staff on handling my industrial accident case. We are very happy with your services. Mr Punia also supported me a lot on my case and gave me information on my case from time to time. I received the compensation and it’s thanks to DL Law Corporation.”

“All I can really say is WOW! Ms Prasanna was able to settle my claim for WAY more than I ever thought it was worth. They took the time to make sure I got compensated for everything I was supposed to. They did a really wonderful job for me. They were also there for me whenever I dropped by or called.”

“I would like to thank [Ms Prasanna] profoundly for your professional and excellent counsel during the course of my successful injury claim. You have demonstrated understanding and compassion and I felt comfortable and totally assured at all times even though I got to know of your services from your website.”

“Ms Prasanna and her legal team, over the course of three years, fought very hard for me. They all went above and beyond what one would deem necessary. They were available to me at anytime, my needs were put first at all times and they were truly professional in supporting my case and myself right to the very end.”

“After my industrial accident, I was recommended to [Ms Prasanna] by a close friend. Right at the start, Ms Prasanna showed me the sincere way she worked by coming to see me in the hospital I was warded in. I had bad experiences with lawyers in the past, where I had to constantly chase them for updates on my case. However, in my 15 months when my case was on-going, it was Ms Prasanna who was proactive in updating me regularly of any developments in the case.”
