$355,000 Settlement Secured for Worker Injured in Work-related Vehicle Collision

Steinberg Law Firm Attorney Adam Greene successfully secured a $355,000 settlement on behalf of a hardworking client who suffered life-altering injuries in a severe motor vehicle accident while on the job. This case highlights the importance of pursuing full compensation when a work injury leads to permanent disability and how strategic legal advocacy can make all the difference.

The Incident: A Sudden and Serious Workplace Collision

In January 2024, our client was performing job duties while operating his personal vehicle when he was suddenly t-boned by another driver. The impact was substantial and caused multiple injuries, including trauma to the client’s left shoulder, neck, lower back, and head.

Medical Treatment and Long-Term Impact

The client underwent extensive treatment to address his injuries. For his shoulder, he consulted with a specialist and ultimately required rotator cuff repair surgery. For his neck and low back pain, conservative treatment was pursued through injections, medication, and physical therapy.

In addition, the client suffered neurological complications, including headaches and dizziness. A neurologist prescribed medications and initiated vestibular therapy to address these ongoing symptoms.

Permanent Disability and Vocational Limitations

Due to the extent of his injuries and their impact on his ability to work, attorney Greene argued that his client was permanently and totally disabled. His age, limited educational background, and work history were key factors in proving that he was unable to return to his previous job, or engage in any gainful employment moving forward.

To substantiate this claim, Greene retained both medical and vocational experts who confirmed the permanent nature of his work restrictions and the lack of suitable employment alternatives.

Settlement Achieved Through Mediation

After comprehensive preparation and negotiation, the case proceeded to mediation. With strong evidence and support, we successfully reached a settlement of $355,000, ensuring our client has the financial resources needed to move forward after his devastating injury.
