Work related case results:

Our attorneys represented a 49-year old nurse administrator who was injured three times while at work. The first time she fell off a chair while being yelled at during a meeting with her supervisor – a doctor. Afraid that the doctor might strike her, she covered her head, fell off the chair and suffered a herniated disc in her lower back, requiring surgery. The second injury occurred when the nurse was jostled while in an elevator, aggravating her lower back injury and causing her to be off work for a year. The third time, after being struck by a food tray, she fell down several stairs and again hurt her lower back and herniated a disc in her neck.

Our client’s employer originally denied payment of benefits. After proceeding to trial, the Arbitrator found our client permanently and totally disabled. The employer was forced to reimburse our client for three years of back pay, pay all medical bills and pay $800 per week for the remainder of the client’s life. In addition, we were successful in our second suit against the elevator repair company and our client received an additional $100,000.
