Case study:
Mary is a production line process worker in a chicken meat processing abattoir, ABC Meat Company, Cityville. She has suffered a back injury this morning while lifting boxes from a conveyer line. The First Aid officer was called immediately to the work area and arranged for an ambulance to transport Mary to the closest hospital – Downtown Public Hospital. The duty doctor, Dr Rosanne Smith, has advised that Mary’s prognosis is that she may be off work for many months as she is in constant pain and will most likely need her lower vertebrae fused.

The company does not dispute that the injury occurred whilst at work. The Insurer will therefore most likely accept liability and will therefore meet approved costs.
