There is no set minimum or maximum payment that one could claim off WorkCover that is readily available. The maximum amount that one could claim would depend on the wage the person is being paid, as well as how long they had worked for the company and the type of injury received.
No. Even when you go on your new employer's policy you will be covered execpt for the old injury.
If you mean an EMPLOYER (you can't sue a job), then the answer is simple: If the employer allows you to receive workers comp benefits for your injury, then employer negligence is irrelevant, no suit is possible against the employer.
