The injury must be a direct result of your employment or happen in the course of your employment. In some cases subcontractors may also be eligible for a compensation claim.<\/p>\n<p>If your claim is successful you may be entitled to recover the following:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weekly payments.<\/li>\n<li>Lump sum compensation.<\/li>\n<li>Additional lump sum payment for pain and suffering if you meet the impairment threshold.<\/li>\n<li>Payment of medical, hospital, treatment and rehabilitation expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Transport costs.<\/li>\n<li>Death and funeral expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What should you do if you believe you have a Workers Compensation Claim?<\/p>\n<p>When the injury occurs, you should notify your employer, ask that the accident be recorded and take a copy of your employer\u2019s written acknowledgement that they have been advised of the injury.
