Regardless, if the assalent is known, one could also claim personal damages.

It might be different in vic but here you get nothing if hurt at work from accident or by the hands of another person. I got PART payment for a few years then they just cut you off and I was meant to get it until I retired so instead of the GIO paying me until I got to the age YOU all pay me now and will cost you all over 3/4 of a mill now and wonder how many others are there like me and I don't think it's fair on the taxpayers but what can I do :( When I was in sydney I met a lady and she had been assulted and had her shoulder broken and she too got told 'there's the door' it's a fantastic country we live in and it's not until you get hurt that you really get to see how third world it really is..so basically there is no compo so I don't know why they pay for insurance when you can't use it, same as the car insurance and how it covers for up to 20 mill, so how many people do you know that have actually got any of this money or anywhere near it as you might get a mill if your now para as my uncles neice got hurt in a car crash when she was really little and she will be in the chair for the rest of her life and they had to buy a van and mod the house so there's not much money left so I also wonder what happens to these people as I can at least still walk for now :(
