Under 266 of the 1988 Act notification of injury can be made in writing or verbally. Details of injury must include the date of injury for the period over which the injury occurred, the time of injury, how the injury happened and what capacity for employment has been caused by the injury.
Sometimes the date of injury is difficult to ascertain, such as in psychological injury claims or disease claims. In these circumstances a date is often deemed by the insurer as the date of injury.
When making a claim, keep in mind that time if of the essence and a claim ought to be made as soon as possible.
