If you have suffered an injury at work it is very likely you will be entitled to make a claim by lodging papers with your employer’s insurer, WorkCover Queensland.
Whether you should simply accept a lump sum offer or bring a damages claim (the lump sum offer is usually a fraction of the amount you would recover if you succeed with a damages claim), very much depends on the circumstances of your case.
It is important that you seek legal advice from a solicitor who specialises in this area of law so that you know what your rights are.
