Major changes were made to disregard laws in a number of states in Australia. Recently the changes have concerned strong criticism, with consumer groups and reputed legal officers such as judges also astonished because risking public safety and providing inadequate compensation for serious injuries.]
If an individual is injured, in spirit the party that injured them only has to 'cover their expenses', because payments can now only awarded for:
1. Economic Loss
2. Medical Bills
3. Marginal costs for family care, which is also been reduced and can often be unavailable too.
No extra payment, such as for sufferings and pain etc, can be made unless that threshold is reached.
The insurance company points out that the changes have reduced claims, but has been unable to show a reduction in premiums. This means that, even though an injury might generally be so severe as to need a payment for pain and suffering of over $40,000, such an injury would only have need of the payment of lost wages and medical bills. No other any type compensation can be paid. That includes any payment for pain and suffering.
