Our client slipped on wet concrete while working, suffering serious injuries to his neck, spine, and shoulder that required cervical fusion surgery. Despite the severity of his injuries, the workers’ compensation insurer denied his claim and initially offered only $3,000. We brought in medical experts and pursued the case through mediation with an administrative law judge.
After negotiations, we secured a $100,000 settlement, plus an agreement that the insurer would pay all medical expenses directly, ensuring those costs did not reduce his payout. The settlement also covered lost wages and disability benefits, allowing our client to restart his trucking career and regain control of his life.
