"Surviving was only the beginning" for a man crushed at work by a heavy and unsecured metal cable rack, his mother has told a court.
In a victim impact statement to the ACT Industrial Court, she thanked the many medical professionals who had helped "put [my son] back together again" after the January 2022 incident.
She said his multiple injuries, including a fractured skull, multiple face fractures, having three teeth knocked out, and several facial lacerations requiring dozens of staples, made him "almost unrecognisable".
