Superannuation Insurance Claim Following Workplace Injury
Client situation:
A registered nurse with over 20 years’ experience sustained serious lower limb injuries while assisting a patient, along with a secondary psychiatric injury. She was unable to return to her longstanding nursing role and faced significant financial pressure as the primary income earner with dependent children
How Barsby Law helped:
We provided clear advice on her compensation options and conducted a detailed review of her superannuation entitlements, identifying two insurance policies that could respond to her incapacity.
Outcome:
We successfully secured two substantial lump sum payouts—each exceeding $450,000—providing long-term financial stability through to retirement.
Notable strategy/process:
A proactive investigation into superannuation insurance uncovered multiple entitlements the client was unaware of, supported by strong medical and vocational evidence to meet policy definitions.
