Other Claims

Summary

Injuries can give rise to other claims outside workers compensation, each with distinct entitlements and time limits. For example, disability discrimination claims.

Referral or Escalation

Do a legal referral for parallel claims or settlement terms that may affect other rights.

Practical Tips

  • Beware of limitation periods and release terms.
