You idiot now there is no turning back !!!!!!!!!

very good news mate. now you need them to deem you a TPI as in totally and permanent incapacitated.
As I said if you can hang take them to court, Just PM if you have any questions, looks like you have by the short and curlys

2 specs so far have put me down as "whole body impairement" at the moment without a % rating to due being medically unstable. Without that rating, I can't get much out of them which is what I need but have to wait to see what the surgery options are and what I will be rated before and after

whats the cut off point over there under your system is it 27%like here.
Hope they dont drag out the paperwork instead of trying to repair/fix the problem as best they can.
You may never be 100% after surgery but 99% is pretty damn close.
Confused by the whole body impairment thing or is that just a term till they have a name for it
To me that would imply to me no upper or lower body movement

It used be a % of "whole body disability" but there too many loop holes so they changed it.

Get nothing under 15%, between 15 and 25% all benefits stop whilst negotiatipns for payout are conducted and then reimbursed, 26%+ all benefits remain whilst negotiations are being conducted.

Common law claim only allows upto $465k but takes into account what you may receive from WC payouts.

EG I may get $200k WC payout then my maximum under common law goes to $265k = $465k total allowed but it is very rare to get that high now.

It was changed back in 2005 as you could have 2 guys with identical injuries and got to 2 different specs, 1 gets 5% and the other gets 30%. Now with the changes it makes it very hard for the specs here to give a false % rating and even a true % rating is hard to get now.

tops back in the day was $185k with 75% pay weekly
if injured by car then TAC pay out is un limited
You have com care or similar ?
Not just common workcover ?

[oncedisturbed]

Comcare wasn't adopted over here because our grubs suck. Only have normal workers comp
