Home Health Aide Injured On The Job Obtains Settlement Award of $700,000

After a long day of work caring for patients as a home health aide, the only thing Alina Ordonez had on her mind was relaxation. Unfortunately for her on one ill-fated evening, the very opposite occurred. Heading out into the early evening after finishing caring for a patient, Alina made her way out of the doorway and across the dark, unlit pathway. Before she knew it, she tripped and fell on the hazardous premises head-first into the nearby gate.

As she found herself on the ground and in pain, she knew she needed immediate assistance. Her first call was to her son who called an ambulance, and she was rushed to the nearest hospital to treat her multiple soft tissue injuries. Knowing that her fight was just beginning, Ms. Ordonez consulted with the attorneys at Hill & Moin, LLP and she was pleased that she did.

Describing Attorney David Zwerin as “courteous and hard-working”, she always felt taken care of by the communicative and responsive staff at Hill & Moin. Alina was smart to place her trust in their expertise as the attorneys successfully negotiated an impressive $700,000 settlement on her case. Family being her priority, Alina Ordonez now looks forward to investing her funds in projects that will grow and continue to provide for her and her loved ones for years to come.
