One Accident. Multiple Compensation Schemes.

When a patient suffers a serious injury in a motor vehicle accident, their recovery can involve more than one compensation scheme. Understanding how WorkCover, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance and the National Injury Insurance Scheme Queensland (NIISQ) interact can be challenging for both injured patients and the healthcare professionals treating them.

Join Crew Legal for a practical, case-study-based webinar exploring how these schemes can overlap following a single accident, and what this means for patient care, rehabilitation funding and recovery.

Using the example of a seriously injured person involved in a motor vehicle accident during the course of their employment, Crew Legal will explain how different compensation schemes operate together, the challenges treating practitioners may encounter and how these barriers can be addressed to support better patient outcomes.
