Our client who was married and a father of four, was fixing a broken air conditioning unit which was located on top of a commercial building. While doing his work he fell from an I-beam, which was supporting the air conditioning unit. He injured his knee and back. He had four surgeries on his knee and multiple forms of physical therapy. The court decided that our client did not need to prove liability and therefore we proceeded to negotiate the value of his claim. The case was resolved for a significant sum of money which allowed the client to live comfortably, although he could not go back to work. The case resolved because the insurance company knew that after the court decided liability in the client’s favor they were in a bad spot. The key in the case was convincing the court that the facts were in our favor.
