What should you do after receiving a WorkCover assessment for a workplace injury in Brisbane?
After a WorkCover Queensland assessment, typically 12 months post-injury, you receive a Notice of Assessment detailing your impairment percentage and a lump-sum offer. Carter Capner Law advises against accepting this without legal consultation, as it may limit your rights to higher damages.

They gather medical and employment records to build a robust case, often negotiating settlements out of court. Understanding your options post-assessment is crucial for maximizing recovery.
