How Long Will a Toxic Chemical Injury Claim Take?
In Australia, the duration of a workers’ compensation claim can vary widely. On average, it can take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 years to resolve, depending on the complexity of the injury, medical disputes, and disagreements over liability. Straightforward claims may be settled within a few months, but more complicated cases could take much longer, potentially even years.
At Wyatts Lawyers, our asbestos injury lawyers will help you resolve the compensation matter quickly. We will assess your situation and give you a realistic estimation of how long the claim may take.
Can I Make a Toxic Chemical Compensation Claim for a Deceased Relative?
If a loved one has passed away due to a toxic chemical-related disease, you may still be eligible to file a compensation claim. This can be done either on behalf of their estate or as a dependent who relied on them for financial or emotional support.
My Workers Compensation Claim Has Been Denied. What Can I Do?
If your toxic chemical injury compensation claim has been denied, you have several options to challenge the decision. The insurer is required to provide you with a written explanation for the denial, along with details on your next steps.
Some common reasons for claim denial include:
- The insurer does not classify you as a ‘worker’ under the legislation.
- The insurer believes that your employment was not the primary cause of your injury.
- The insurer deems your medical treatment or related expenses as not ‘reasonably necessary.’
- The insurer attributes your condition to workplace actions such as transfer, demotion, promotion, performance appraisal, discipline, retrenchment, or dismissal.
- The insurer believes your employer’s actions were reasonable.
Note: On 1 March 2021, the Personal Injury Commission (PIC) became the central body for managing and addressing all workers compensation disputes.
Here are some options you can try to make a dispute:
- Request an internal review, requiring the insurer to reassess the decision and respond within 14 days.
- Lodge a dispute with the PIC.
