Our Guatemalan-born client sustained catastrophic injuries, when the landscape truck he was riding in crashed down a ravine after his co-worker became unconscious. He suffered an above the knee amputation of his right leg, other orthopedic injuries, a concussion, and severe depression.
He remained at VCU Hospital for three weeks before moving to a rehab facility. After extensive treatment and therapy, the claimant reached maximum medical improvement, with 100% impairment to his right leg, 5% to his left leg, and 25% to his right arm. Attorney Craig Davis filed and won a claim requiring the insurance company to pay for our client’s treatment of Type 2 diabetes controlled to protect the skin or his residual limbs. In addition, we obtained a settlement of $1,650,000 in his workers’ compensation case.
