Injury Management

BEST PRACTICE INJURY MANAGEMENT

Did you know, in 2018 there were 238,782 work-related injury claims in New Zealand? Of these claims, 150,960 related to soft tissue injuries i.e. sprains and strains of muscles, ligaments and tendons. Many of these injuries may have been prevented through education and awareness.

Workplace injuries impact on the well-being of your employees as well as on business productivity and cost.  Life Care Injury Management will enable you to actively support the assessment and rehabilitation of your workplace injuries. This is achieved by minimising disruption to your business and supporting your injured employees to achieve a safe and early return to productivity.

The decisions that are made immediately following a workplace injury event will greatly influence both recovery and return to work outcomes for your employees.

Life Care Injury Management provides priority access to our nationwide network of over 500 allied health professionals.  This enables a specialist diagnostic injury triage assessment to ensure you and your injured employees receive quick and accurate confirmation of the injury and what that means.  We will increase your visibility and participation in the recovery process, meaning you and your employees will be empowered and better engaged.
