WORKERS COMPENSATION CASE RESULTS

The following are notable Settlements, Verdicts and Judgments which the Colorado personal injury attorneys of the Mintz Law Firm, LLC, have negotiated or won for their clients:

Our client was catastrophically injured while at work by an outside company. The horrifying accident left our client paralyzed from the waist down. He is a young construction worker with a life expectancy of another 49 years. He has three children and a wife. His life will never be the same, he will never work again.

Outcome: In this particular case our firm was dedicated not only to our client but also to his family. We fought hard at every interval to ensure our client would be taken care of not only financially, but medically. Our entire firm became familiar with this case and knew the client and family on a first name basis. When the client affirmed his satisfaction with our efforts and an agreeable settlement amount, we diligently secured that amount for our client. We were able to have our client’s medicals considered and preceded with settlement. Our client and his family are now able to have some comfort despite the unfortunate occurrence which injured him. Although his life has been changed forever and he will never physically be the same, he can now at least live comfortably financially and medically for the rest of his life. The settlement amount was over 2.7 million dollars.

The Mintz Law Firm most recently handled a Workers Compensation case in which our Colorado Workers Compensation attorney obtained a favorable settlement for our client.

Our client was a young man in his early twenties. He was a semi-truck driver and mover for a major commercial moving company. During one of his assignments, he was hurt while moving a piece of furniture up a flight of stairs with a coworker. Our client was on the downhill side of the furniture supporting most of the weight. When he and his coworker got near the top of the stairs the piece of furniture hit the celling causing our client to twist his lower back and injure himself. Our client sought immediate medical attention and began treatment for his workers compensation injuries. The doctors put him on partial permanent disability. The partial permanent disability drastically limited how much weight our client could lift, limiting him to a 10lbs maximum. The lower back pain limited how long he could sit or stand without discomfort.  The pain caused many sleepless nights, emotional distress and anxiety. After an extended period of time our client was eventually cleared by his treating doctors to return to work with a permanent disability rating of 10%. In order to fully return to work in the case of a CDL license the law required our client to get a Department of Transportation “DOT” physical, which he passed.

In the end our Colorado Workers Compensation attorney at the Mintz Law Firm was able to settle our clients’ case for $40,000. The client was very happy with his settlement.
