IT’S NEVER TOO LATE You Can ALWAYS Hire an Attorney to Help
Our client, Yvonne, worked as a fast-food restaurant general manager and sustained an injury on the job to both of her shoulders. Yvonne’s office door was locked and instead of calling a locksmith, the operations director instructed a cook to climb up through the ceiling into the office to unlock it. The cook fell through the ceiling, and Yvonne was standing directly below him. His legs hit her left shoulder, throwing it back and causing it to pop. As he fell, ceiling tiles and metal hit her right shoulder. Both of her rotator cuffs in her shoulders were torn, resulting in surgery on each one. After handling her case on her own for about two years, she became worried that she’d be shortchanged by the workers’ compensation insurance company, especially because she didn’t understand the ins and outs of workers’ compensation cases in South Carolina. HOW WE HELPED YVONNE GET A SOLID SETTLEMENT Because she was already so far into her case from a medical standpoint, we made sure to get the records and analyze them in a timely manner. Yvonne left the job where she got hurt and got another one. We assured her that even with a job change, the insurance company for the job where she got hurt remains responsible for her case. To get Yvonne a larger settlement, we worked with her to develop a list of her current complications. Despite a relatively low impairment rating of 4% to both shoulders, with no future medical treatment
and no permanent work restrictions, we settled Yvonne’s case for $60,000. She was pleased with the result, and she was thankful for the way our staff gave her peace of mind by updating her as her
case developed, answering her questions, and making her comfortable by treating her like a human being instead of just a case number. LESSONS LEARNED A few important things stand out about Yvonne’s case: • Even management-level employees get hurt at work. • Even managers don’t know how to handle their own workers’ compensation cases • It’s not too late to ask for legal help. • The relief brought by an experienced, hardworking workers’ compensation law firm goes way beyond a good settlement in the end. I’m glad Yvonne found me, but I’m most thankful we were able to bring her peace of mind and get her a settlement she was happy with!
