Can you sue for negligence if WorkCover benefits aren’t enough?
WorkCover in Queensland provides statutory benefits for workplace injuries, but these may not fully cover long-term losses, especially for severe injuries. If your employer’s negligence caused the injury, a common law claim for damages can yield higher compensation, covering pain, suffering, and future earnings. Carter Capner Law warns against accepting WorkCover lump sums without legal advice, as it may waive your right to sue. Brisbane workplace injury lawyers can assess negligence, gathering evidence like safety breaches. Court proceedings must start within three years. Have you received a WorkCover offer that seems inadequate? Share your situation or ask how a no-win, no-fee lawyer can pursue a negligence claim to maximize your compensation in Brisbane.
