Speaks Law Firm Announces $175,000 Workers’ Comp Case Settlement

WILMINGTON, North Carolina — Speaks Law Firm, serving clients throughout North Carolina with offices in Wilmington and Charlotte, announced a $175,000 workers’ compensation case settlement for an injured client. Represented by a Speaks attorney, the 51-year-old male, a refrigeration tech with a prior leg injury, fell down the stairs at work, sustaining a shoulder injury and a severe knee injury that required a total knee replacement.

The man’s previous injury complicated this particular case, with the main issue centering around how to get him back to work. The central question to the carrier and defense counsel was, how is a 51-year-old man with a prior leg injury and a total knee replacement in his other leg going back to work?

Despite multiple mediations, the case could not be settled. The carrier and defense counsel were slow to initiate vocational rehabilitation. Speaks Law Firm, using skilled negotiations, thorough legal knowledge, and  tenacious advocacy, negotiated continuously with the defense attorney, fighting for the injured worker’s best interests after the failed mediations. Thanks to sheer determination, they persuaded the defense attorney to settle the case for $175,000.00.  

Supporting the attorney was an outstanding team of paralegals and case managers from the Wilmington and Charlotte offices, whose thorough case preparation played a significant role in Speaks law Firm securing the $175,000 settlement for their client.
