Workers Compensation – Workplace Bullying $650,000 Psychological Injury Claim (NSW)
The Incident
We were instructed by Louise, a worker subjected to bullying and unfair and derogatory treatment by superiors, following a workplace incident in New South Wales. Louise sustained a serious psychological injury.
Serious Injury and Medical Treatment
The conduct undermined Louise’s confidence and made the workplace feel unsafe and hostile. The effect on her mental health interfered with wellbeing, relationships and her capacity to continue working in the same environment.
The Long Road to Recovery
