AMERBERG LAW GROUP
received a $1 million settlement
A workers' compensation attorney referred the matter to us two months before the personal injury case's statute of limitations was set to expire. Initially, all evidence pointed to a workers' compensation-only remedy.
However, following some in-depth investigation, the litigation team was able to uncover a third-party theory of liability and resolved the matter in less than 6 months for the defendant’s maximum policy limits. The goal is to have satisfied customers!
Workplace injury cases aren't always limited to a workers' compensation claim. When a third party outside the employment relationship — a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — contributed to the accident, an injured worker may be entitled to additional compensation for pain and suffering that workers' comp alone doesn't cover. Identifying that third-party liability requires a thorough investigation early in the case. Time matters in these cases — the sooner a third-party theory is identified, the more evidence remains available to support it.
Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case. Every case is different, and the amount of compensation recovered depends on the specific facts and circumstances involved.
