Compensation, (or compo) is paid for injuries usually arising normally out of someone else’s negligence, however sometimes just suffering an injury allows you to claim compensation and hence independent advice is required from a specialist lawyer or solicitor.
If you sustain a work related injury you need to immediately report the accident QLD injury claim to your employer, seek medical attention and report the matter to the workers compensation insurer. If you sustain an industrial injury over and above your compensation entitlements it is important the accident injury claim is reported to ensure that WorkCover undertake any necessary investigations with regards to negligence. A work related injury does not have to occur through negligence to claim, and if there is a permanent aspect to the injury you will be entitled to a lump sum payout to help cover the pain & suffering; ALC Lawyers can assist you in this respect.
If the injury was sustained in a motor vehicle accident it must be reported to the police and a claim lodged with the CTP insurer. The law is negligence based for accident compensation, and if negligence can be proven, either wholly or partially, then you can claim loss of earnings and medical expenses, and the compensation payout is normally made in one lump sum.
Other injuries that may occur include medical negligence, victims of crime , product liability or public liability.
There are many ways to sustain an injury, these may include:
-
In the workplace if you are an independent contractor
-
In the workplace if you are injured by the negligence of a person/company that is NOT your employer
-
Slip & fall eg. On damaged footpaths, in supermarkets, shopping centres or other retail centres
-
Accidents in planes or on boats
-
Accident at school or in the playground
-
Injured at a sporting event or a recreational facility
-
Accidents in the home
-
Injuries due to defective products.
The majority of injury cases are settled without the need to go to compensation court. An out of court settlement can be negotiated by a specialist injury lawyer. An out of court settlement is a once off payout, and once the compensation claim amount has been agreed it can not be renegotiated at a later date.
