Liability notice

WorkCover must give the injured worker a notice about liability within six months (three months for a worker with a terminal condition) of receiving a compliant Notice of Claim for Damages. In certain circumstances WorkCover must make a counter-offer (section 285 of the WorkCover Queensland Act 1996). If WorkCover makes an offer or counter-offer, the injured worker must respond in writing within 14 days (refer section 285).
