OUTCOME: $966,000.00

Major Win at Cantor Injury Law As published in the Missouri Lawyers weekly Our client fell over a pipe, requiring a shoulder replacement, and the insurance company denied the case. She had a five hun ... dred dollar offer but we won her nearly a million dollars. Our case was featured in Missouri Lawyers Weekly this week. Science center staffer gets nearly $1M after fall By: David Baugher October 20, 2016 A woman who suffered injuries after stumbling over a protruding pipe from a covered construction fence will receive nearly a million dollars between workers’ compensation and the settlement of a liability suit. Joan Alter, an employee of the St. Louis Science Center, was walking in from the parking lot when she tripped over a support from a temporary barrier, said her attorney Mark Cantor, of Cantor Injury Law. The fencing was hidden with a tarp and the piping in question stuck out just after she turned the corner, Cantor said. “She didn’t see it. She fell forward and injured her shoulder and her knee,” Cantor said. “She ended up having a total shoulder replacement as a result. It was our position that was a dangerous hidden condition of property and that it was a construction defect.” Alter fractured her right knee in addition to injuring her left shoulder. Cantor said the injuries forced her to retire. The plaintiff filed suit against three contractors involved and eventually received three-quarters of a million dollars from them. Alberici Constructors and Castle Contracting paid $637,500 with the remainder coming from Consolidated Fence Company. Alter also received more than $216,960 in workers’ compensation. Cantor obtained a waiver of subrogation in the matter so that his client would not have to return any of that money after the award. Alter received a total of $966,960 for the case. “That is sometimes an obstacle to resolution because you’ve got to pay back the monies that were paid in workers’ compensation but in this case we were able to convince the Science Center to settle the case with a waiver of subrogation,” he said. “In exchange, it closes out the case forever on any future medical or other issues.” The Science Center was never sued for liability in the matter, he said. Initially the defendant contractors denied that the issue was a defect and contended it was open and obvious, Cantor said. However, he said there was little dispute over the extent of damages. “I think everyone believed that she had serious injuries from this,” he said. “Workers’ compensation accepted it.” Cantor said he resolved the workers’ compensation matter first so as to obtain the waiver. Erica Briscoe of Baty, Holm, Numrich & Otto was listed as representing Consolidated Fence and Derek Ruzicka of Pitzer Snodgrass was listed as representing Alberici. Both declined comment. Robert J. Wulff of Evans & Dixon was listed as representing Castle Contracting. He did not return a call requesting comment. Cantor said Scott Annunziata represented the defense in the separate workers’ compensation matter. He did not return a request for comment.

Car accident

Denied Case, $350,000.00 win

Nov 01, 2016

OUTCOME: $350,000

Cantor Injury Law Recovered $350,000.00 for Jessica Rhynes at the end of February 2016. Jessica was struck by a teenage driver who took a corner too fast in his Ford F150 in Ripley County, Missouri, wh ... ich is near Arkansas. Jessica had a knee injury and had to have surgery. Unfortunately, Jessica did not have health insurance, so Mark Cantor arranged for her to go to the best doctors in St. Louis for medical care. The defense did not want to pay and had lots of excuses, but eventually offered us the policy limits of $250,000 and we refused to accept those policy limits and were able to settle the case for $350,000. If you go visit our Facebook page at Cantor Injury Law, you can see a photo of Jessica’s car, which we posted on February 16, 2016.

Personal injury

ATV Collision

Feb 02, 2016

OUTCOME: $107,000.00

On Friday, February 26, 2016 we appeared in Jerseyville, Illinois, which is in southern Illinois near Missouri for a minor child injured on an ATV. We were able to win $107,000 for a foot fracture case ... for our client. You can actually see the foot fracture if you visit our Facebook page at Cantor Injury Law and posted on that same day, February 26, 2016. Our client was hired by adults to shuttle guests to an adult party using the property owner’s ATV and the ATV flipped. Our client was 15 and was injured. We were able to structure the money so that the minor child has money even when he gets older and he does not spend it all when he is young, as young people have a tendency to do. Mark Cantor has handled many ATV collision and off road collision cases and can help you in any vehicle collision matter. Please call 314-403-2756, if we can help you!
