A Workplace Injury in Metal Manufacturing
In June 2020, the client was performing his duties in the demanding metal manufacturing industry of Chicago, IL. During his shift, he sustained a serious injury to his right arm. Unlike many cases where injuries are questioned, this injury was diagnosed immediately at the time of the incident, allowing for an efficient transition into medical care.
The recovery process involved multiple local clinics and hospitals, where the client underwent orthopedic treatment and physical therapy. In an industry where physical strength is paramount, securing the right medical intervention was the first step toward restoring his livelihood.
The Strategy: Seamless Medical and Legal Management
While some workers’ compensation cases are defined by conflict, this case was defined by efficiency. The legal strategy, overseen by Jack Epstein with 30 years of experience in the Illinois legal market, focused on meticulous administrative precision:
- Claim Presentation: Our team filed the formal workers’ compensation claim promptly to protect all legal rights.
- Records Coordination: We managed the complex task of gathering and verifying all medical records and billing statements from multiple providers.
- Decisive Negotiation: By presenting a clear, evidence-backed case, we negotiated a settlement that reflected the true value of the injury without the need for prolonged litigation.
A $110,000.00 Result with Full Transparency
The negotiation culminated in a successful $110,000.00 total settlement. Following the deduction of standard legal fees and costs, the client received a significant net payment of $87,735.00.
Beyond the financial victory, the close of this case emphasized client security and transparency. The client authorized the firm to handle the final check endorsement, and upon resolution, he was provided with all original physical medical records for his personal files. Our firm also ensured the secure destruction of redundant copies according to strict regulatory standards, providing the client with a clean and professional close to his legal chapter.
