Insurer responsibilities 
When notified of an injury, the insurer must:
  • contact the worker and the employer within three days, and consult with the treating doctor, to ensure that the worker receives necessary assistance to recover and return to work
  • commence provisional liability payments of weekly benefits and medical expenses within seven days, unless a reasonable excuse exists
  • develop an injury management plan for a worker with a significant injury
  • cooperate with its obligations under the injury management plan.
