Personal Injury – Work Injury – Accident and Medical Cover Paid by Employer – Insurance company – Compensation – Interest
The case involved a request for compensation and interest for delayed payments to an insurance company which had agreed to cover a company's employees for personal accident and medical treatment insurance. The key issues were whether the insurance company was liable to pay interest for late payment of compensation to an injured employee and if the employee's delay in requesting compensation had had an impact on the claim.
