Workers’ Compensation Verdicts & Settlements

Our client, a logistics worker, suffered a severe ankle injury involving four surgeries and years of ongoing pain management. He was unable to return to work. After extensive discovery, the insurance company’s “best” offer was $18,000.00. In pursuit of fair compensation for our client, Monica Rejaei, the chair of NST’s Workers’ Compensation practice group, took the case to trial and won a maximum award of $970,201.58 based upon our client’s age and pre-injury earnings plus full coverage for our client’s future medical needs. The insurance company appealed the verdict, but Monica won the appeal, and the large verdict was upheld. At NST, we will go the distance when it matters most.

Our firm represented an individual concerning a personal injury and workers’ compensation claim. Our client was working for his employer as a billboard poster, when he fell approximately 35 feet from a billboard catwalk. He sustained serious injuries, including 2 broken arms, which required surgery. We were able to get his temporary total disability payments started and upon his release from the doctor, we settled his workers’ compensation claim. We investigated his personal injury claim and hired an expert engineer who determined that the catwalk was not properly welded. We litigated this case and we were eventually able to mediate our client’s third party claim for over $950,000.00.

Our Firm represented a forty-nine-year-old man who was involved in an accident while working on-the-job for his employer. The client suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident which the workers’ compensation insurance company denied. As a result of his traumatic brain injury, the client developed psychological injuries which the employer denied as well. Our firm fought extremely hard for the client and the workers’ compensation insurance company was ordered to provide medical treatment for all his injuries. The insurance company hired a doctor to try and prove that the client did not have a traumatic brain injury and was faking and exaggerating his injuries. When the insurance company refused to pay a fair and reasonable settlement for the client’s traumatic brain injury and inability to work, our team of NST lawyers took the case to trial and presented the testimony of three experts to prove that the client did in fact have a traumatic brain injury and psychological injuries. The trial court disregarded the insurance company’s “hired gun” expert witness and ruled in favor of the client and found him permanently and totally disabled and awarded a judgment against the workers’ compensation insurance company in the amount of $561,916.90. Furthermore, the trial court ordered the insurance company to pay for the medical treatment for his injuries for the remainder of his life.
