- Social Security DisabilityOur client was legally blind almost from birth. His employer was able to accommodate his blindness and have him work until he suffered a neck injury that required surgery. In an effort to modify or suspend the workers’ compensation benefits being paid to him, a labor market survey was performed in which the defendant-insurance company alleged that the client was able to work various positions, such as security guard watching TV monitors or as a hotel clerk. We defended the petition on the basis that his legal blindness had to be taken into consideration to determine what his “residual earning capacity” was at the time. Although the workers’ compensation Judge found against the client, we appealed the matter and, because of the strength of our case, the claim settled for $120,000. The settlement was fashioned in such a way that it maximized social security disability benefits.
- TrustsThe Court approved a $2,000,000.00 settlement on behalf of a child delivered at 35 weeks gestation to a teenage Mom. The mother was initially seen at one hospital and then transferred to another hospital; however, delivery was not performed in a timely manner. Numerous medical experts were consulted to successfully present the claim that the fetal monitor strips indicated problems with the baby getting sufficient oxygen and that delivery should have been emergently performed. For the benefit of the child, the settlement proceeds will be placed into a special needs trust for a lifetime of care.
