Workers Compensation – Workplace Assault $650,000 Face, Upper Cervical Spine and Neck Injury Claim (NSW)
The Incident
We were instructed by Beverly, a worker who was assaulted in the workplace, following a workplace incident in New South Wales. Beverly sustained injuries to her face, upper cervical spine and neck.
Serious Injury and Medical Treatment
Beverly was left with pain, limitation and significant ongoing effects. Medical assessment ultimately placed her at 55% whole person impairment.
The Long Road to Recovery
The incident affected more than her visible injuries. It also disrupted her sense of safety, confidence and ability to return to the environment in which the trauma occurred.
Why Specialist Legal Advice Was Required
Specialist advice was required to document the full extent of the injuries and secure recognition of their continuing effect on function and work capacity.
Legal Support and Advocacy
Garling&Co assisted Beverly to pursue workers compensation entitlements, including lump sum compensation, medical expenses and ongoing weekly wage payments.
Securing a Life-Changing Outcome
The claim resulted in $650,000 in compensation. The outcome recognised the serious and permanent nature of Beverly’s condition and provided additional security as she continued treatment and adapted her routines.
