What happened?
In December 2018, our client was working on a construction site installing gutters onto a roof, when the truss he was standing on gave way and he fell more than three metres to the ground. As a result, he severely injured both of his shoulders and bicep and was unable to work due to the injury.
Our client contacted Fern Lawyers with little knowledge of how the compensation process worked. With the support of his legal team, we worked together to advise and implement several strategies to maximise compensation and expedite the claims process, running a permanent impairment claim alongside the workers compensation claim to assist with medical expenses and ongoing loss of income.
We were able to secure a lump sum for permanent impairment for over $54,000. But we didn’t stop there. The Fern Lawyers team are also helping him secure ongoing funding to assist with medical expenses and loss of income. Working tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for the client, we are confident that we will continue to secure further funds to help him recover from the injury.
