Workers' Compensation
Making an insurance claim on a damaged car is a stressful process. But when it comes to making an insurance claim for an injury to your body, the stress goes up to a whole new level.
If you have been injured at work, Dr Colvin can help you navigate the complexity of the workers’ compensation scheme while you recover from your injury.
Making a workers’ compensation claim is the start of a long journey and it can be quite a rollercoaster. Dr Colvin specialises in the treatment of shoulder and knee work injuries. Throughout this journey there is one primary goal that we must never lose sight of: to get you better. All the stress and anxiety related to a workers’ compensation claim is relieved once you have had successful treatment and made a good recovery. Dr Colvin has many resources that you can access to help you with the challenges posed by your workers’ compensation claim. These include:
