FAQsQuestionIs there a time limit for making a workers compensation claim?AnswerA claim for workers compensation should be made within 6 months of the date of injury, accident or, where relevant, date of death. However, if the failure to make a claim within 6 months is the result of ignorance, mistake, absence from the State or other reasonable cause, a claim for workers compensation can still be made. A claim lodged up to 3 years from the date of injury, accident or, where relevant, date of death can be determined by insurance companies in the usual manner. In some cases, if a claim is not made within 3 years but the claim relates to an injury resulting in death or serious permanent disablement of the worker, the claim may still be allowed to be made. Further advice in this regard should be obtained from the insurance company. Compensation may not be recovered unless notice of the injury has been given to the employer as soon as possible after the injury happened and before the worker has voluntarily left the employment in which the worker was in at the time of the injury.
