Our client was at a country club pool, swimming with her daughter. At the same time, a construction crew was also working on the property. The driver of a construction truck was dumping trash too close to a telephone pole, causing a wire to be cut. The wire landed in a puddle near the pool, causing our client to be electrocuted.
This accident gave our client serious heart problems. The construction company initially tried to offer our client $15,000 for the injuries. We did not accept that.
Our attorney reviewed the client’s medical records and how the electrocution affected her heart. We consulted with an expert cardiologist, who reviewed the records and concurred with our findings.
We sent the medical records back to the insurance company, showing how serious our client’s condition is and how it traumatized her and her family. The insurance company then offered a $120,000 settlement.
“This is a case where fact is truly stranger than fiction. It takes an expert to hold the right party accountable for negligence like this.”
– Attorney Kelly St. John
