Pérez Law, PC secured a $2.5 million workers’ compensation settlement for a seriously injured worker after nearly 23 years of medical treatment, disputed benefits, and litigation. The final settlement was ten times the $250,000 offer that was on the table when our firm took over her case.
A Workplace Injury That Led to Decades of Medical Treatment
In 2003, a woman suffered a serious workplace injury that would affect her life for more than two decades.
Over the years, she underwent multiple spinal fusion surgeries and had a spinal cord stimulator implanted as part of her ongoing treatment. Her injuries required extensive medical care, and securing the treatment and disability benefits she needed became a prolonged legal battle.
Despite years of authorized medical treatment, the insurance carrier eventually disputed responsibility for her cervical spine injuries. When her treating neurosurgeon recommended additional surgery, the carrier denied authorization.
After nearly two decades of medical procedures and disputes over her benefits, she was still fighting for the care she needed.
Pérez Law Takes Over a Case With a $250,000 Settlement Offer
When Pérez Law, PC substituted into the case as new legal counsel, the settlement offer on the table was $250,000.
Given the severity of our client’s injuries, her extensive medical history, and the ongoing disputes surrounding her treatment, our legal team continued pursuing a more favorable resolution.
The case involved extensive litigation, medical evaluations, and continued advocacy on behalf of our client. Throughout the process, Pérez Law remained focused on addressing the disputed medical issues and securing a settlement that reflected the circumstances of her case.
A $2.5 Million Settlement, Ten Times the Previous Offer
Through persistent legal advocacy, Pérez Law ultimately secured a $2,500,000 workers’ compensation settlement, representing ten times the amount offered when our firm assumed representation.
The resolution brought an end to a legal dispute that had continued for nearly 23 years.
For our client, this outcome represented more than a financial recovery. After decades of surgeries, medical treatment, and uncertainty surrounding her benefits, she could finally put this longstanding legal battle behind her.
While no settlement can undo the physical consequences of a serious workplace injury, this resolution provided a meaningful conclusion to an exceptionally difficult chapter of her life.
Pérez Law, PC was proud to advocate for her and help bring this case to a close.
