The Story about this WorkCover Claim

In early 2016 Karren and her husband came to Australia on a holiday to both enjoy their honeymoon and explore our country. With plans to stay in Australia for a few months, the couple sought casual work at a farm in Victoria to fund their holiday.

Karren’s role included cleaning the machines that process hops, including clearing any rubbish from the apparatus which she did not receive appropriate training for. On the date of accident, whilst doing this task, her fingers and glove got stuck in the turning shaft which dragged her into the machine, all the way to her neck. Our client suffered from a traumatic injury to her left arm which ultimately required amputation below the shoulder.

Needless to say, Karren went from being a happy, young and active newlywed to undergoing multiple procedures to her left arm which left her life completely shattered.

The employers were fined and prosecuted by WorkSafe Victoria.

After some time in dealing with the extensive treatment, Karren sought the services of another law firm to address the initial impairment benefit. However after feeling a second opinion was required for pain and suffering and common law damages, Karren reached out to our team. We got to work straight away and addressed all complexities with the aim of getting a very good result for our client.

Karren’s claim has now settled, and she and her husband wrote to us with the following message about their experience with our firm:
