When a workers’ compensation claim finalises, it’s important to understand what comes next. Finalisation typically involves a settlement that covers your entitlements, including weekly payments, medical expenses, and, in some cases, lump sum compensation for permanent impairment. However, if your injury was caused by your employer’s negligence, you may also be eligible to pursue a Work Injury Damages claim.
A Work Injury Damages claim allows you to seek compensation for economic loss, such as past and future lost wages, due to your injury. This type of claim requires you to meet specific criteria, including having a WPI of at least 15% and proving employer negligence. Starting a Work Injury Damages claim involves careful preparation, including gathering evidence and engaging legal representation.
