Q: Before I submit a litigation form, I would like to know if there’s an opportunity here.

I recently won my Workers’ Compensation case through the Personal Injury Commission for psychological injury caused by COVID-19 vaccine coercion from my employer. I was awarded backpay, which is great news! However, I still need to address damages. Initially, in 2022, I was diagnosed with a 21% impairment, but the insurer wants to reassess with further doctor reports. My solicitor has scheduled an appointment with our psychologist for August, and I expect the insurer will want their own assessment as well, likely extending into 2025.

Now, I want to know if I can litigate for trespass against my employer in her personal capacity. Can I do it now, or should I wait for new updated doctor reports?

A: You can commence litigation at any time. While we sometimes wait for doctors’ reports to be in, it’s not necessary. Proceed when you feel ready. Also, could you please email your court judgment to us? We would like to add it to our website to encourage others. Of course, we will redact your name and details.
