We obtained a combined workers’ compensation settlement ($170,000) and third-party liability settlement ($100,000) for a woman who was struck by a large piece of industrial equipment in the course of her job at manufacturing plant. After the workers’ compensation claim settled, the third-party liability claim was vigorously defended. A Fortune 500 company owned the manufacturing plant, and they retained one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the country to fight the case disputing the severity of her injuries and claiming our client was contributorily negligence.
