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. 

Key Information

Resolving one claim may affect or extinguish another. In some cases, a different scheme may provide better support depending on the facts.

Referral or Escalation

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

Practical Tips

  • Consider all potential schemes early.
  • Beware of limitation periods and release terms.
