If your injury is permanent and was caused by the fault of your employer or a third party, you may also be entitled to common law damages. These can include a lump sum payment for pain and suffering and economic loss.
To lodge a WorkCover claim, you should report your injury to your employer, attend your local GP and obtain a WorkCover certificate a capacity. A WorkCover claim form should then be carefully completed and lodged with your employer.
