A worker suffered serious injuries after falling from a ladder while working at a mill in Butler, Missouri. The fall caused multiple catastrophic injuries, including fractures to the ribs, shoulder blade, collarbone, and skull, along with an epidural hematoma, a serious type of brain injury that can be life-threatening.
We worked to make sure our client received the full benefits and financial protection they needed for the future. We gathered evidence, worked with medical and vocational experts, and carefully evaluated the long-term impact of the injuries.
As part of the resolution, our workers’ compensation attorney secured a Medicare Set-Aside account valued at more than $231,000 to help cover future medical needs. We also ensured that a $57,000 life flight bill was properly processed through workers' compensation rather than becoming an additional burden on our client.
In the end, our client also received a $225,000 workers’ comp settlement in Butler, Missouri. This result helped our client move forward, knowing their future medical care had been addressed and that significant medical expenses had been properly handled.
