Work Injury Damages & Negligence Claims
-
Also known as a common law claim – In NSW, if you are assessed at 15% whole person impairment or above; and, your injuries were caused by your employer’s (or their employees’) negligence (fault), you may be able to pursue your employer for damages in the form of a lump sum.
A successful claim for damages would see a worker end up with a lump sum consisting of a portion of their past and future economic loss (past and future wages) and other economic components such as lost superannuation and taxation.
A claim for common law damages is highly dependent on numerous factors specific to your individual circumstances.
A successful claim for common law damages would bring an end to your workers compensation claim. Any claim for damages must generally be commenced within 3 years from the date of injury.
