Plumber’s Assistant Hurt on The Job Recovers Mind Boggling 3.5 Million Dollar Settlement

As you begin your workday and think about all that may lie ahead, you would likely not imagine the kind of day O.P. found himself living out one fateful shift as a plumber’s assistant. Things were business as usual on the job until O.P. was assigned to work on pipes in the ceiling of the worksite. He began climbing up the ladder, which had been dangerously positioned atop unsecured planks of plywood. Abruptly and unexpectedly, the ladder wobbled and sent O.P. tumbling to the floor, slicing his hand on a wayward piece of metal on the way down. In and out of consciousness, O.P. immediately felt the pain all over his body. He was raced to the closest emergency treatment provider where it was confirmed that he had sustained damages including fractures, deep lacerations, and soft tissue injuries combined.

Frustrated and seeking atonement for his injuries, O.P. sought out the aid of the skillful and savvy attorneys at Hill & Moin. Looking back, O.P. is grateful for the inclusive energy from Attorney David Zwerin that really made him feel like a part of the team from start to finish. He pointed out that the staff were always helpful, especially when it came to providing case updates and staying in touch.

Hill & Moin’s persistence and expertise paid off for O.P. when the Court granted the injured plaintiff summary judgment on liability. Thereafter, he was delivered the earth-shattering news that his case had settled for $3.5 million, an amount he could not have imagined in his wildest dreams. Moving on with a fresh start, O.P. is eager to start a savings fund to prepare for whatever the future may bring and to take life one step at a time.
