$175,000 – Ben – Monticello, Minnesota
We represented a carpenter who sustained a serious back injury while working for his employer that made him unable to continue working as a carpenter. Our client’s employer and its workers’ compensation insurer refused to cover the medical bills associated with his work injury. Our team fought the insurance company and helped him obtain a settlement, which included medical costs, wage loss, and the cost of an education. The final settlement for the client was $175,000. In addition to the settlement, medical benefits related to the client’s back remain open, meaning our team continues to work with the client’s doctors today to ensure that he gets all of the medical care that he needs due to his work injury.
$125,000 – Jamie – Sartell, Minnesota
A woman was working as a personal care attendant at an adult foster care facility when one of her clients became upset. The client attacked the woman and struck her, inflicting injuries to her head, neck, and back. She also developed PTSD and post-concussion symptoms. Fields Law Firm successfully defended an attempt to discontinue the woman’s wage loss benefits and then pursued settlement negotiations. We were able to leverage our defense of wage loss benefits into a large settlement reflecting the fact that the woman wouldn’t be able to return to work for several years.
$350,000 – Gene – Champlin, Minnesota
A Minnesota painter injured his back and neck about 15 years ago while working. He received workers compensation benefits for years, and was able to work part time at a hardware store and still receive benefits. Suddenly, the hardware store he worked at announced they were closing. Frightened that his lost employment would impact his benefits, he contacted Fields Law Firm to monitor his claim with the insurance company.
Sure enough, the insurance company was going to reexamine the claim based on an update to our client’s employment status. The Fields Law attorneys jumped into action. They contacted our client’s doctors for updated reports on his medical status, and filed a claim petition with the department of labor to challenge the insurance company in court. During preparations for trial, Fields Attorneys aggressively negotiated a lump-sum settlement for our client. He was overjoyed with the settlement amount, and pleased with the professional representation he received from Fields Law Firm.
