BRISBANE, Australia - TelAve -- Have you wondered what the term 'statutory claim' means when it comes to a personal injury?

WorkCover statutory claims in Queensland are a no fault scheme. Essentially, if you are a 'worker' and you are injured in the course of your employment, you will have entitlement to statutory benefits including wages, medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses.

Your entitlement to such benefits comes to an end at the point that you reach 'maximum medical improvement'. At the point that your statutory claim is finalising, you have an entitlement to have WorkCover arrange for an assessment of your injury, where you will attend a medical examination, and be issued a Notice of Assessment. The Notice of Assessment will detail any impairment you may have been assessed as sustaining due to the injury and make you an offer of lump sum compensation.
