A man was seriously injured when a potato piler under which he had been working fell on his back. The piler had been constructed with a bad combination of hydraulic gear 11-12 years previously. The company that constructed the piler had gone out of business. This was a very challenging, but rewarding, case, helping a man who by all accounts was an exemplary worker, family man and citizen.

$ 160,000 – Grant County

A man was injured in a boiler room, when another worker removed a pump. The removal of the pump created a hole filled with extremely hot water. The hole could not be seen because the water had spread across the floor. My client was attempting to install a door and was walking toward the wall when he stepped into the hole. The water removed a significant portion of his lower leg’s skin and the burns required treatment at Harborview’s burn treatment center in Seattle. Liability was denied by the insurance company, before filing this lawsuit.

$ 185,000 – King County

Our client was a painter who was injured in Okanogan County, when a truck driver dumped a pallet of paint cans onto him. The weight of the pallet of paint seriously injured our client’s shoulder and required a surgery to repair it. Liability was denied by the driver’s carrier before the lawsuit was filed.
