The Story about this WorkCover Claim

Our client, Jane, was excited to begin her university studies and had secured a casual job at a fast-food restaurant prior to starting classes. Unfortunately, during her employment, she sustained a serious back injury caused by poor work practices and repetitive heavy lifting. Despite her injury, Jane pursued conservative treatment and attempted to continue with her daily activities, including her passion for horse riding. However, the pain persisted, significantly affecting her quality of life. After enduring ongoing discomfort for several years, Jane reached out to our law firm to pursue a workplace injury compensation claim.

The Defendant strongly contested her claim, arguing that her injury was not that bad and that she had managed to maintain most of her regular activities. However, Jane’s persistence in trying to live a normal life—even while in pain—worked in her favour. The Judge accepted Jane’s evidence and found her to be a credible and honest witness. It was accepted that Jane suffered from daily back pain and, given her young age, would likely face long-term consequences. Ultimately, judgement was in her favour, and the Defendant eventually agreed to resolve her common law claim for a fair and just result.

My lawyer Dino Beslagic and the team at Henry Carus + Associates were very supportive throughout my compensation case. They provided excellent advice and I would recommend them to anyone seeking legal assistance following a workplace accident.
