How Are Workers Compensation Claims Calculated?
The damages are for the pain, suffering and loss of amenities that a person has experienced and will continue to experience due to their injuries. For injuries suffered in Queensland, pain and suffering is generally assessed using a scale of injuries under the legislation. The Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Regulation 2014 (Qld) sets out items under which injuries are categorised. The items grade injuries on a scale of 0 to 100, giving them an Injury Scale Value (ISV).
