Lisa Maynard recently presented at a seminar run by the Australian Lawyers Alliance, an association of primarily Plaintiff lawyers. The subject of the seminar was the 40% loss of earning capacity test in Serious Injury Cases. In workcover applications for a serious injury certificate, a worker must establish a permanent drop in their capacity to earn income of at least 40%. This is a very difficult test to meet and presenting and attending the seminar gave our lawyers invaluable further knowledge in this area.
