If you were hurt before 1 April 2002 and your injury is covered by the law, you can get help. Sections 364 to 380 explain what kind of help you can get.

If someone died from an injury that happened before 1 April 2002, their family can also get help. Sections 381 to 387 explain what kind of help the person's partner, children, and other people who depended on them can get.

The help you can get is explained in Part 4 and Schedule 1 of the law. But sometimes, sections 364 to 391 might say something different. If they do, you should follow what those sections say instead.
