New Damages Liability Act 1st July 2002

The Damages Liability Act was amended in 2001, and the new Act took effect on 1st July 2002. The new Act only applies to injuries occurring on and after 1st July 2002. The Act leads to a general increase in the level of compensation.

Briefly, the new Act introduces wider access to resumption of compensation cases, so that there is now a chance of resuming each compensation item separately. The determination of maximum medical improvement no longer applies, and under the new Act compensation for lost earnings must be paid until a temporary or final assessment of the loss of earning capacity can be made.
