FAQ

What is the difference between a work injury claim and a civil claim?
A work injury claim under the Employees Compensation Ordinance does not require proof of employer negligence. A civil claim requires you to prove negligence and the resulting loss.
How long does a claim take?
It depends on the case. A straightforward settlement may take several months to a year; litigated cases take longer.
What if I cannot afford a solicitor?
You may apply for legal aid. Many firms also offer a free initial assessment before you decide whether to instruct them.
What is the assessment of permanent incapacity?
The Employees Compensation Assessment Board assesses the degree of permanent loss of earning capacity, which is used to calculate compensation.
Should I settle before my treatment is complete?
Usually not advisable. Settling too early may leave future medical costs and lost earnings out of the calculation.
Must a traffic accident be reported to the police?
If anyone is injured or property is damaged, report it. The police record is important evidence for the claim.
