Cases Highlight Personal Injury Practice
Posted: June 20, 2011
Some examples of successful six figure personal injury cases handled by Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law include the following:
- A negligence lawsuit was successfully brought against a building owner for failing to install proper smoke detectors. During a building fire, one of the tenants sustained serious back injuries when she and her daughter jumped from a window to escape.
- A settlement was obtained on behalf of a factory worker when the ladder he was holding came into contact with high voltage wires. Damages for burns sustained over 40 percent of his body were obtained because the wires were not properly insulated.
- A roofer who sustained serious injuries following a 40 foot fall won his case against the project’s general contractor. The case was settled at trial after it was proven that the contractor failed to provide proper safety devices. A major factor in his compensation was the fact that the roofer’s injuries prevented him from returning to his long-time career.
- A head-on collision on a wintry day prompted a nurse to seek remuneration for her severe leg injuries. Her lawsuit, based in large part on her inability to resume her career, succeeded in obtaining the money she needed for financial security and a fresh start.
- In a hard-fought Labor Law case, Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law obtained a $500,000 court settlement for a construction worker who was injured on the job. He fell 50 feet and had to find a new career. The settlement was for the full amount of insurance on the now-defunct company.
- A teenaged boy won nearly a million dollar settlement for hand and arm injuries he sustained in shop class.
- A young woman received two six figure settlements from a driver who rear ended her vehicle and from the bar where the driver was drinking.
