Construction Accident

A union carpenter in his late 30’s was injured at an active construction site where he was working when he slipped on ice and tripped on debris injuring his knee. Initially, the accident report stated he slipped because of “black ice” and there was no mention of rubble or debris. He had two arthroscopic knee procedures and was out of work for a couple of years. He returned to work only to be involved in a second accident when he was struck by a falling object. He switched lawyers for his first case, hiring us. We also represented him for his second accident. We were able to settle his first case for him after we located an eye witness and got an Affidavit from him, which his prior lawyer had not done as well as engaging in extensive discovery while representing him in his second case.

Tripping Accident

A woman in her late 50’s was shopping in a large, national chain department store when she tripped on a mis-leveled elevator in the store and claimed injuries. The store and elevator maintenance company were sued. Both attempted to defend the case by pointing out the plaintiff’s lengthy history of accidents, injuries, lawsuits, and argued some of her injuries were pre-existing/degenerative in nature. Plaintiff had several small, arthroscopic procedures on her shoulder, knee, and wrist and was collecting disability benefits and not working at the time of the accident.
