Is this relevant to you?
You may be eligible for further compensation if:
You were seriously injured at work
Your injuries have caused ongoing or permanent impact
You’ve lost income or work capacity
Your injury was caused by unsafe conditions, inadequate training, or employer negligence
WorkCover payments don’t reflect the full impact on your life
Many people don’t realise there are different types of WorkCover claims, and that additional compensation may be available in some circumstances.
Not all WorkCover claims are the same
Statutory benefits:
Most people injured at work can access WorkCover statutory benefits, which operate on a no-fault basis. This means support may be available regardless of what caused the injury.
Statutory benefits may include:
Medical and treatment expenses
Weekly income payments
Rehabilitation and return-to-work support
Common Law claim:
Where injuries are serious, and an employer (or another party) was negligent, a person may be able to pursue a Common Law claim.
Common Law claims consider fault and are designed to compensate for the long-term impact of an injury - including pain and suffering and past and future loss of earnings - rather than day-to-day expenses.
