Common Law Workers’ Compensation Claim
A common law workers’ compensation claim is a separate claim you may be able to pursue if your work‑related injury was caused by your employer’s negligence. Unlike the standard workers’ compensation system — which is no‑fault — a common law claim requires you to prove that your employer failed to take reasonable care for your safety.
If successful, a common law claim can provide additional compensation beyond the usual statutory workers’ compensation benefits.
You must be assessed as having a minimum level of permanent impairment before you can proceed with this type of claim.
