After a physical altercation at a construction site involving workers from two different companies, our client was assaulted and initially told his only remedy was a workers’ compensation claim. Several firms declined to pursue the matter further.
When he came to us, we conducted an in-depth legal analysis and determined that a separate civil action could proceed. The defense argued comparative fault and relied on witness statements claiming our client initiated the physical altercation. Despite these challenges, we successfully secured a $350,000 recovery to compensate our client for his medical expenses and lost wages.
