Redlich’s Work Injury Lawyers recently resolved a claim for pain and suffering only for a personal care worker in an aged care setting.

Our client suffered a serious injury to her back, requiring operative treatment, as a result of crowded patient rooms which made it impossible to safety navigate the room. Due to a failure of the aged care home to adequately assess or manage the safety of furniture being brought into the care homes by residents, our client suffered a debilitating injury which led to her leaving her much loved profession as a care worker. 

Whilst WorkCover initially fought the claim, the matter ultimately resolved without the need to go to court.
