Case Overview

A young man in his mid thirties had an accident whilst working at a factory. The young man, knowing he needed legal help and after being recommended, by a friend, to go to PK Simpson, contacted us in relation to a workers compensation claim.

The Incident

The initial injury occurred whilst attempting to manoeuvre a heavy container. Although machinery was at hand, some physical interference was needed on his behalf and as he did this, he fell from a height onto concrete.

Medical Assessment

As a result our client undertook medical treatment to his lower back. Our doctors discovered that the injury had adverse side effects on other parts of his body, affecting his internal organs and mental state.

Additional Compensation

The client was happy, to say the least, and was over the moon when we informed him we would be pursuing more compensation through our Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) lawyers. Most superannuation funds include insurance cover for sickness, or in situations that prevent you working full time or at all.

At PK Simpson we have a team of specialist lawyers dedicated to TPD. We do this so we can give you the best representation, every step of the way.
