You Only Pay When We Win
Coldwater Machine refused to accept any responsibility for what happened to Andy. So Andy hired us to represent him. Because it was Coldwater Machine’s equipment that caused his injury, we were able to pursue a third party case against the company. We filed Andy’s work injury lawsuit in Houston, and the case ended up in federal court before Judge Keith Ellison.
Through the information gathering process of the lawsuit, we determined that Coldwater Machine violated at least four important safety rules:
We hired a work safety expert who noted that Coldwater violated multiple OSHA safety rules that caused Andy’s work accident. We proved Andy’s injury and damages through collecting his medical and billing records and wage loss records, and in obtaining the sworn deposition testimony of Andy’s neurosurgeon, who recommended Andy have a neck fusion surgery at the C6-7 level in his neck. We used a video demonstration to show the jury the surgery Andy needs.
The trial started on Monday, October 31, 2011. Four days later, on Thursday, November 3, the jury returned its verdict at 7:00 p.m. The verdict amount is $476,303, and it will reach $500,000 after the addition of allowable costs and interest charges.
$500,000 Verdict; attorneys’ fees were $185,883.80 and expenses were $66,402.51
