Michael* was a 41 year old lifelong construction worker. He had spent decades building and repairing homes, providing for his family through hard and honest work.
In September of 2018, Michael was working on a construction site installing sheetrock when the walking board beneath him suddenly broke. He fell 10 to 12 feet and landed hard on his right foot. Co-workers rushed to help, and Michael was taken to the emergency room, where doctors ordered CT scans and X-rays. The results showed a shattered right calcaneus, a serious heel injury that required immediate surgery.
Michael underwent surgery on October 4, 2018. The injury left him unable to return to the only type of work he had ever known. On October 31, 2018, he reached out to Stanley Law for help. Our team represented him in both his workersโ compensation and personal injury claims.
Over the following years, the case went through motions, appeals, and mediation. In 2024, after years of litigation and determination, we secured a $625,000 settlement for Michael.
While no amount of money can undo the pain or years of recovery, this result gave Michael the financial security and justice he deserved after a lifetime of hard work.
Stanley Law was proud to fight for him.
