The Incident
Our client suffered a fall from a high bridge while performing job-related duties, sustaining significant injuries to their neck and back. In addition to these physical injuries, they began experiencing neurological issues as a result of the fall. These injuries not only caused immense pain and suffering but also affected our client’s ability to work and their overall quality of life.
The Challenges
As with many workers’ compensation cases, this claim presented its own unique set of challenges. Our client faced the daunting task of proving the full extent of their injuries and ensuring they would receive adequate compensation for both immediate and future medical needs. Additionally, the long-term neurological complications added complexity to the case, requiring specialized medical evaluations and detailed legal arguments to account for future treatments and potential disabilities.
How We Advocated for Our Client
Mark Cantor and our team worked diligently to build a compelling case on behalf of our client. We gathered extensive medical records, consulted with expert witnesses, and thoroughly documented the physical and neurological impacts of the fall. Our goal was to ensure that every aspect of our client’s injuries was fully understood and accounted for in the settlement.
A key component of the settlement was the inclusion of a Medicare Set Aside (MSA), a provision that guarantees funds are allocated specifically for our client’s future medical needs. This ensures that our client will have access to necessary treatments and care for as long as they need it, without additional financial burden.
The Outcome
Thanks to Mark Cantor’s skillful negotiation and unwavering dedication, we secured a $476,645.84 settlement for our client to recover from their fall from a high bridge. This amount included compensation for their injuries, ongoing medical needs, and the establishment of the Medicare Set Aside, which is funded by the employer. The settlement provided not only financial relief but also peace of mind for our client, knowing their future medical care was assured.
