Strict time limits apply to all WorkCover claims. It is therefore essential that you seek urgent legal advice about your claim.
To claim compensation for time off work or medical expenses for a work injury, you must apply to WorkCover for compensation within 6 months of being injured.
You only have 3 years from the date of injury to make a damages claim. After that, it is too late for you to claim damages, but you might still be entitled to recover a lump sum from WorkCover.
