I had been delivering packages for almost 43 years, and I was very close to retirement. Like I do every day, I picked up a box for delivery. Something seemed off, so I put it back down. I told my employer that I believe I was hurt but kept working. Fifteen minutes later, I couldn’t pick up anything.

I had torn my distal bicep tendon from my shoulder all the way to my elbow. The pain was intense, but the insurance company wouldn’t give me an MRI at first. They just said it was a strain and put me through physical therapy, which made it worse. The insurance company was problematic. When I tried to talk to them about my pain, the person treating me told me they weren’t even a doctor. I was misdiagnosed. I knew I needed to call a lawyer. A local personal injury firm recommended that I call Reinhardt | Harper | Davis, and I’m so glad I did.

I met with Stephen and he really listened to me. I walked out of that office feeling positive about how this situation for the first time in seven months. I finally got an MRI that showed the tear, which was worsened by the doctors making me do physical therapy first. I got the surgery, went through a new round of physical therapy, and am feeling much better now.

Working with Reinhardt | Harper | Davis was so easy. They addressed every issue immediately, properly, neatly. Whenever the insurance company tried to pull something on the defense side, my team made sure it wasn’t happening. And my legal assistant Kim was like a sous chef. She said, “I need this, I need that,” and prepared everything for Stephen – and she was on point. She made me feel comfortable, and I was excited to meet her in person. Stephen was awesome – on top of everything, and great to work with. Now I can retire in peace!

If anyone out here is unfortunate enough to be hurt in a work accident, look no further than Reinhardt | Harper | Davis.
