Our clients
were a husband and wife. The husband a 58-years-old power-washer, was at a job
site when he began to descend a ladder. Whilst
standing on the 10 foot ladder, the ladder began to slide down causing our
client to fall to the ground with the ladder landing on top of him. Although he was conscious, our client had
difficulty moving and the neighbors who discovered him lying on the ground
immediately called 911. Our client
suffered serious injuries including but not limited to paralysis of his arms,
fingers, and hands. Additionally, he had
a bone protruding from his lower neck.
He was forced to undergo spinal surgery and a period of time where he
could only be tube-fed. Our client could
not work during this time and as a result was receiving no income. In addition
to the husband’s claims, we filed a loss of consortium claim on behalf of the
wife for the loss of services from her husband.
After trial, our clients were awarded the
following: for the husband, $1,500,000.00 in past pain and suffering;
$343,200.00 in future lost wages, $2,500,000.00 in future pain and suffering,
$351,250.00 for future medical expenses.
For the wife, $50,000.00 in past lost services; and $1,250,000.00 in
future lost services. The total award
won on behalf of our clients was $5,994,450.
