Results from Our Personal Injury Cases

Our goal, in every case, is to make something good happen for our clients.

 

+ Lifetime Workers' Compensation Award

The plaintiff sought workers' compensation for the Second Injury Fund as he tried to meet his burden of proof that he has permanent and lasting damage from his 2015 injuries and his preexisting disabilities. The Commission denied him, claiming that additional facts needed to be presented based on existing evidence in the record. We appealed and the court agreed, citing the statute doesn't require providers to maintain medical records seven years after the date of their last service. Ultimately, clarifying the definition of "medically documented" and determining that self-reported medical history is reliable.

+ $1 million settlement
