Mr. H was forced to undergo back surgery after an on-the-job accident. Though the surgery was a success, Mr. H continued to suffer from serious pain in his lower back. The injury prevented Mr. H from returning to work at his former place of employment. The insurance company fought Mr. H for several years before he finally decided to hire a worker' compensation attorney.

As soon as Mr. H hired us, we began working to ensure that he received a "permanent and total disability award" based on his inability to perform work duties. We also wanted to protect Mr. H's rights to future medical care.

After a long mediation, the insurance company finally agreed to settle Mr. H's workers' comp case for $250,000.00. This figure was based not only on Mr. H's permanent disability, but also his future medical needs. The settlement will allow Mr. H to receive the treatment he needs, and also restore the financial stability that his injury robbed him of. 

While 6 figure settlements are relatively rare in the workers' comp setting, we wanted to share this result with anyone who is unsure whether hiring a lawyer can make a difference after an on the job injury.
