$245,000 for Workers' Comp Client

N/A

OUTCOME: $245,000

My client worked in an assisted living home as an activities coordinator. In June 2012, she assisted another nurse in helping a patient from the shower. The patient slipped on the wet floor, and the cl ... ient hurt her lower back keeping the patient from falling to the ground. I fought for the client to get the treatment she needed, including a lumbar fusion and aggressive pain management. I also ensured that she received timely healing period benefits checks for the appropriate amounts. Finally, I secured a settlement of $245,000, over 100% of her industrial disability rate.
