Cases

SLIP AND FALL – GROCERY STORE

SLIP AND FALL – GROCERY STORE

Employee of a grocery store watered not only the flowers, but also the floor where customers walk. Client, unaware of the slick conditions, fell injuring her left shoulder. She was fairly compensated without the necessity of filing a lawsuit. Damages included compensation for medical expenses (surgery for rotator cuff tear), lost wages, pain and suffering, physical impairment, and disfigurement.

ON THE JOB INJURY – WRONGFUL DEATH

ON THE JOB INJURY – WRONGFUL DEATH

Suit is filed on behalf of a family for compensation for damages incurred in the loss of a beloved husband and father when the make-shift tailgate fell from a truck, causing fatal, crushing injuries. The Defendant denied liability and asserted that it could not be sued because of the Workers’ Compensation bar. Ownership and employer issues were resolved favorably at the trial court. The jury returned a verdict in excess of $2 million dollars.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT – COMPLICATIONS WITH PREGNANCY

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT – COMPLICATIONS WITH PREGNANCY

A young mother-to-be, pregnant with twins, was hit from the rear by another vehicle which was being driven recklessly and in excess of the speed limit. The client experienced an immediate onset of contractions which were treated and controlled. However, a few weeks later the contractions resumed and she gave birth, pre-maturely, to twin boys. Sadly, one did not survive. Through a combination of insurance policies, a fund was established for the surviving boy who was healthy and active. William Schmidt worked with the obstetrician to explain to the insurance companies how the trauma of the collision caused the premature delivery.
