Workplace Accidents in QLD & NT
People who suffer Workplace Accidents in QLD and the NT are usually well compensated because the system of compensation is well designed for injured workers.
Common work place injuries include back injuries, eye injuries, slips and trips, stress, repetitive strain injuries, brain injuries and other body and physiological injuries.
It is important to know that when you have a Workplace Accident, you generally have TWO claims, not just one. One claim for a Workplace Accident is a Workers Compensation claim. Another claim for a Workplace Accident is a civil claim (also known as common law claim or negligence claim).
The difference between the two claims can be enormous and you will need specialist advice to assist you, especially if you choose to lodge a civil claim for your Workplace Accident. A civil claim or a common law claim is applicable to QLD claims.
In the Northern Territory, the legal claim process operates a little differently. You are entitled to a number of statutory benefits including:
- Weekly payments for time off work towards loss of earnings
- Payment of agreed and authorised medical expenses
- A possible lump sum payment for any permanent impairment if the accident happened at work or travelling to or from work
