Case Details
Settlement for a meat packing plant worker paralyzed by a falling bar.
Additional Notes
Client was working underneath a metal bar that was holding cow hide pelts. The bar fell and landed on him, paralyzing him. He was forced to live in a nursing home for two years while his case was pending. Our firm helped him receive a lump sum settlement, plus a structured settlement. The lump sum was used to buy a new handicapped accessible home. A handicapped accessible van was also purchased for our client at the time of settlement, and he will receive $50,000 every five to seven years to buy a new vehicle. He and his family will receive roughly $11,000 per month for life to compensate him for his wage loss and ongoing medical expenses. Because he was not a legal citizen (undocumented alien), a trust was created to legitimize the receipt of payments into a legal entity, and Attorney Hoggatt serves as the Trustee. Hoggatt Law Office, P.C. manages all of his finances and pays his certified nursing assistant (CNA) for attendant care.
