01 · The Difficult Moment
A Shoulder Injury Disrupted Work and Added Financial Pressure
Our client suffered a torn labrum, detached muscles and tendons, and a fracture involving the shoulder socket. An inconsistent return-to-work schedule and difficulty working created financial stress. Problems with benefits added to the frustration.
02 · The Work
We Discussed Medical-Care Options and Pursued a Settlement
We discussed the possibility of seeking a second medical opinion outside the workers’ compensation providers so the client could consider their care options. We then retrieved medical records and pursued settlement through negotiations and mediation.
03 · The Outcome
The Claim Resolved for $52,500 in Three Months
The $52,500 result eased the client’s financial pressure while allowing time to heal. The client felt relieved and well cared for at the end of the claim.
