Legal Assessment

Bennu offers specialist expertise to support legal assessments for clients with acquired brain injuries and Neuro-degenerative conditions and is one of just a few accredited organisations nationally and in Western Australia.

The consultancy works locally, nationally and internationally and is currently involved in providing advice for a client based in Sardinia, Italy.

Working under the guidelines and ethos of the Australian Plaintiff Lawyers Association, Bennu is committed to protecting and enhancing the rights of people who have suffered loss or injury, and to supporting injury prevention, expedient access to the courts, advocating for the administration of justice and upholding the common law system.

Bennu Principal, Jan Bishop, BSc (Health) MRCNA RN, AIMM is a Member of the Australian Plaintiff Lawyers Association.

"I have had the privilege of working with Jan for a number of years. Her tireless efforts have been instrumental in enabling many of my clients to achieve million dollar compensation settlements. Her patience in explaining the needs of persons with acquired brain injury has been much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Jan's services and would have difficulty identifying any person more qualified to advise in the area of acquired brain injury."

“Jan Bishop's approach in assessing the future care needs and life plans for seriously disabled compensation claimants is unparalleled.

In my practice, I deal with claims and consultants throughout Australia and overseas. The general approach sees an occupational therapist prepare a one-dimensional report, based on a limited field of expertise.

Jan distinguishes herself from other consultants by drawing on a network of professionals from allied fields, so that her reports are truly multi-disciplinary and holistic. The result is a solution that provides not only a useful tool to the litigator, but also to clients and their families, giving them some direction and hope for the future.”

“A report provided by Bennu for one of our clients was very helpful in the assessment of the claim and covered all required areas. The promptness of its delivery and its thoroughness resulted in a helpful indication of the assistance and needs of our client and we will not hesitate to refer further matters to Bennu in the future.”
