Common law damages
If you are injured at work and the accident was not your fault you may have a claim for common law damages against the employer or another person.
To get common law damages you must establish “fault” or “negligence” on the part of the employer or another party.
You may be entitled to claim for;
- Pain and suffering damages;
- Past and future income loss and superannuation;
- Past and future medical expenses
You must also establish that you suffered a “serious injury”.
