Episode 15 of P.I. Case Note focuses on Thiess v Workers’ Compensation Regulator [2025] QIRC 101, where the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission examined whether the mechanism of injury supported a compensable claim under section 32 of the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld).
The court closely analysed competing expert evidence, underlining how crucial it is for workers to establish causation in physical injury cases. This episode is especially useful for injured workers who face disputes over how their injury occurred.
