Happy Father’s Day to the best role model ever: Rock OKeefe. Thank you for teaching me to strive for excellence, make your own way in life and to give back to the community. I learnt from you that giving your time and energy and skills to community organisations by sitting on boards and committees is just as valuable (or even more valuable) than just giving money. I try to emulate that as best I can. You worked super hard to bless me with a privileged life. I am so grateful.

There are two phases of QLD workers' compensation claims. There are different entry criteria, different benefits and they serve different purposes.

The first phase is for "statutory benefits". It is a no fault scheme which means you do not need to prove there was negligence. If an injured worker is accepted into the scheme, they will be entitled to weekly benefits (if they are unable to work their usual hours) and medical and rehabilitation expenses. At the close of the statutory claim, WorkCover should assess for permanent impairment and issue a Notice of Assessment with a lump sum offer.

The second phase is for "common law damages" for negligence. This stage wont be available if the injured worker accepted the previous lump sum and their impairment was less than 20%. But if the lump sum was not taken, the injured worker can receive damages for their medical and earning capacity losses (both past and future) together with an amount for pain and suffering. In order to succeed, the injured worker must establish that there was a breach or duty of care which caused the work injury.
