$113,000 – Tad – Elgin, Minnesota
We represented a hospital employee who sustained a significant back injury while transferring a patient at work. As a result of this work injury, our client has severe spondylolisthesis, which causes him disabling pain in his low back. Due his work injury, he can never work again. Our team helped the client obtain settlement against the hospital and its insurer for more than $110,000 due to his permanent, total disability.
$100,000 – Brian – Circle Pines, Minnesota
Our team represented a machinist with a physically demanding job who sustained a herniated disc in his low back at work. Despite extensive chiropractic care and physical therapy, our client’s pain was too severe for him to continue to do his pre-injury job. The workers’ compensation insurer initially accepted liability for the work injury, but eventually discontinued paying the benefits arguing that the employee had stopped working and that his disabling condition was unrelated to the admitted work injury. Despite this, our workers’ compensation attorneys helped the client obtain a significant settlement in the amount $100,000, which allowed him to move past his unfortunate work injury.
$110,000 – Wayne – Farmington, Minnesota
A press operator at a plastics processing plant was electrocuted at work. A tool he was holding contacted exposed wires and caused a strong shock. He experienced blurred vision, shaking spells, and severe pain in his neck and hands. His symptoms were too much and he was unable to return to work even after weeks of treatment. He applied for benefits through his employer’s workers compensation insurance. The insurer denied him benefits, saying that he was able to return to work.
Upset and still experiencing severe pain that made work impossible, he contacted Fields Law Firm for help. Our attorneys contacted the insurance company and all of our client’s doctors to establish a strong medical record. Fields Attorneys filed a claim with the Department of Labor to fight for our client’s benefits. During preparation for a hearing, Fields Attorneys were able to negotiate a generous settlement for our client. He was pleased with the strong advocacy from Fields Law Firm, and very pleased with the settlement amount.
