SETTLEMENTS OF PREVIOUS FALLING OBJECT CASES

When an object falls on you and you suffer damages, you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The amount of compensation can vary depending on a couple things. The first thing is the extent of the damages. Compensation is correlated to the amount of damage produced in the accident. If there was an accident but the bodily damage was relatively small (low medical bills, no lost wages) then the compensation you receive for your damages will reflect that. On the contrary, if the damage was significant (high medical bills and months of lost wages) then the compensation will be significant — there is a possibility the compensation can go into the six- or seven-figure range. The second determinant is your legal team. Insurance representatives were hired to save the insurance company as much money as possible. That typically means giving out the lowest-possible settlement to the victim, such as yourself. The initial amount is nowhere near enough to cover your medical costs nor the wages you lost while you were unable to work. Once you accept their offer, it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible to rescind the offer and negotiate a higher check. Without a quality lawyer on your side to fight for what you deserve, you may get fronted and still pay out of pocket after you receive your check. The right legal team on your side will talk to insurance agents so that you do not have to stress about receiving the right amount of compensation. We want you to be able to pay off the medical bills, recover the wages you lost, as well as receive compensation for daily pain and suffering after your accident. Below are a list of previous settlements from cases.

• $2.5 million went to a construction worker after a cement-filled bucket fell from a higher floor and hit his head. (Thankfully he had on a hard-hat.) He suffered broken vertebrae, cervical disc herniations, and psychological disorders.
• $1.25 million was granted to a 40-year-old sheet metal worker. He was installing some ducts in an air conditioning that had been improperly installed the previous day. The unit dropped and struck the client on his neck and shoulder.
• $400,000 settlement went to an electrician when debris from a construction site fell on him. The debris did not have the appropriate safeguards, and injured his shoulder and wrists. He required surgery for treatment on his shoulder and both wrists.
