Workplace injuries
If you have been injured at work, you may be eligible to make a claim for workers compensation with iCare, and receive help to return back to work. The support and amount of care you are eligible for depends on the severity of your injury or illness. You can make a claim even if your employer doesn’t have workers insurance, within six months of when the accident occurred. A workplace injury or illness covered by iCare can by physical or psychological.
Studies show that the longer you are away from work, the likelihood of returning declines. It’s also important to stay active after you sustain an injury, as this reduces pain symptoms and helps you return to your usual activities sooner. Home Caring’s services are here to support you, so you experience the best outcomes after an incident.
