Workers Compensation

When an employee sustains an injury as a result of an accident arising out of or in the course of their employment, the details of the injury are to be reported to the their supervisor who will:

• Ensure injury detail is recorded in the appropriate register
• Arrange for necessary claim forms to be completed
• Obtain details of any witnesses
• Report to the appropriate claims agent/insurer/government office
• Where appropriate, review work procedures and practices
• The client should not give any interview or make any statement to an investigator or other person making enquiries into any accident UNLESS such person is acting on behalf of the client’s insurer
• No correspondence should be entered into with a third party except to acknowledge:
• The name and address of the client’s insurer
• The name and address of the Employer
• All letters of demand or legal proceedings should be forwarded to the appropriate claims agent/insure. 

In some jurisdictions Workers Compensation will provide cover for periodic journeys between the employee’s home and place of employment.  There are varying timeframes to report/submit claims in each jurisdiction. Penalties can apply for failure to comply.
