The Incident
Gabriel Overy, a hardworking employee of Charter Communications, sustained a serious injury while performing his job duties. The accident occurred when Gabriel was loading an 80-pound ladder onto the top of his work van, a routine task in his role. During this process, he suffered an interarticular tear of his rotator cuff in his right shoulder—a painful and debilitating injury that significantly impacted his ability to work and perform daily activities.
Medical Challenges and Additional Complications
Initially, Gabriel sought medical attention and was diagnosed with an interarticular tear, leading to surgery to address the damage. However, when his symptoms persisted and his recovery stalled, Gabriel sought a second medical opinion. This additional evaluation revealed that the injury was more severe than initially diagnosed, necessitating a follow-up surgery. The extended medical treatment resulted in substantial medical bills and a prolonged period of recovery, leaving Gabriel unable to return to work for an extended period.
