$375,000 Workers' Compensation Settlement
A 55-year-old man was injured in a work-related injury while in a lift bucket on a truck, when the door of the bucket swung open due to a broken latch, resulting in his falling approximately 25+ feet onto the rear of his truck and striking the ground. He sustained catastrophic injuries including multiple (3rd through 8th) right rib fractures; right pneumothorax; left severely comminuted and complex femur fracture with overriding fracture fragments; left medial tibial eminence avulsion fracture; C4-5 trans process fracture; T11 burst fracture; right displaced clavicle fracture; pulmonary contusions and scalp laceration.
Plaintiff spent 9 days in the hospital receiving treatment for his injuries and in recovery. He underwent four surgeries related to his femur and tibial fractures. His thoracic and cervical fractures were treated with Miami J and TLSO bracing respectively. He was prescribed Colace, Percocet, Flexeril, Metoprolol, and Lovenox. He was thereafter placed on permanent restrictions preventing him from working his regular job duties. He requires ongoing injections to his knee as pain management. This workers’ compensation case settled for $375,000.00 through our firm’s efforts.
