A 50-year-old truck driver slipped and fell getting out of his truck cab. He landed on his left hand and suffered a cartilage tear near the wrist, which required two surgical procedures. Although he was entitled to medical benefits, his employer did not offer a workers’ compensation settlement. When he contacted us, he had already been given a full duty release and had returned to work. We negotiated a $43,000 settlement that our client did not know he was entitled to receive for his arm injury.
