Most workers in Queensland are covered by WorkCover if they’re injured at work, while travelling to or from work, or during a work-related activity. This includes physical injuries as well as work-related psychological injuries.
Eligibility depends on your employment and how the injury happened, so it’s worth checking even if you’re not sure.
In Queensland, you generally have 6 months from when you became aware of your injury to lodge a WorkCover claim.
Common law claims have a longer time limit, typically 3 years, but the sooner you get advice, the more options you’ll usually have.
A statutory claim is a no-fault claim made through WorkCover Queensland that covers things like medical expenses and lost wages.
A common law claim is a claim for damages where you can show your injury was caused by negligence, and it can result in a lump-sum payment. In some cases, you may be entitled to both.
If WorkCover has rejected your claim, you usually have the right to ask for a review or appeal the decision.
There are strict time limits on this, so it’s important to get advice from a WorkCover lawyer quickly to understand your options.
You don’t need a lawyer to lodge a statutory claim, but a WorkCover lawyer can help you understand the process, deal with the insurer, and identify whether you may also have a common law claim worth pursuing.
