Is an accident on my direct way to or from work a work related accident?

If you have a car accident on your direct way to or from work you will need to lodge a notice of claim with the correct third party insurer.

You will also need to lodge an application for compensation with Workcover. However, as is the usual case, there will be no negligence alleged against your employer so a common law claim will proceed only against the compulsory third party insure.
