$1.5 Million Settlement – Worker Loses Leg And Foot

A man, working in a train yard, was runover after a railcar with a defective brake rolled down an incline and hit another car, which rolled over him. He lost one leg below the knee and the foot on his other leg below the ankle. The case settled for $1.5 million, with a waiver of the worker’s compensation insurance liens.

A tractor-trailer on an Interstate read ended a car that was forced into the guardrail, causing a second impact. The couple inside did not report any injuries, but both developed injuries after the accident. The husband developed severe back problems and has been limited in his work. His wife required multiple surgeries to repair hand tremors. We mediated a $500,000 settlement for him and won a $1.02 jury award for her.

Our client who was admitted to a hospital, suffered a coma and almost died due to a delay in treatment. Months of treatments and rehabilitation followed and there were substantial medical bills. We settled this case for $800,000 before a lawsuit was filed.
