An iron worker was seriously injured while working at a construction project at a football stadium in Lawrence, Kansas. As he was adjusting rebar in a ditch, the rebar suddenly snapped, causing him to fall upside down onto exposed rebar below.
The fall caused significant injuries to his right arm, including a torn rotator cuff, a completely torn bicep tendon, damage to another tendon, and a crack in his elbow. He underwent multiple MRIs and eventually required multiple surgeries as part of his recovery.
Our Lawrence workers' compensation attorney worked to document how the accident happened, gather the necessary medical records, and build a strong case showing the extent of our client's injuries and the impact they had on his ability to work. Through that effort, we secured a $100,000 workers' comp settlement in Lawrence, Kansas, to help compensate him as he recovered from his serious workplace injuries.
Along with the $100K settlement, the client received 2/3rds of his average weekly paycheck for the two years he was receiving treatment for his injuries.
