Your queries answered.

Can my insured employee file for a claim under the Work Injury Compensation Insurance at the same time sue me in the civil courts for damages arising from his/her injury?

No, your employee can either claim under the Work Injury Compensation Insurance or sue you in the civil courts for damages and not both.

If my employee is to undergo a medical assessment arranged by MOM, can I claim for the cost of the medical assessment?

Yes, you can make a claim for the fee of this medical assessment under your Work Injury Compensation Insurance.

If my employee sues me for negligence, will I be covered?

Yes, you will be covered and your employee will have to prove negligence on your part to succeed in his/her claim.

Who will bear the additional medical expenses if they exceed the limit of $30,000 under the Work Injury Compensation Insurance?

Your employees will have to bear the excess medical expenses beyond the limit of the Work Injury Compensation Insurance. Alternatively, they can claim these excess medical expenses under their medical insurance provided that your employees had purchased such insurance.
