Crossen Law Firm Achieves $725,000 Recovery for Traumatic Injury in Indiana Workplace

In a significant legal victory, Crossen Law Firm has secured a remarkable $725,000 settlement for a worker in Indiana who suffered a traumatic brain injury due to a preventable fall on the job. This case not only emphasizes the importance of workplace safety but also showcases the commitment of the firm to advocate for injured workers.

The Incident: A Preventable Fall

The case revolved around an older gentleman who was performing routine tasks when he fell and hit his head on a concrete surface. The cause of this tragic incident was clear: his employer had neglected to install the necessary safety precautions, such as ramps or railings, along the building's side. Such basic safety measures could have easily prevented this unfortunate accident.

As a result of the fall, the worker sustained a serious traumatic brain injury that necessitated emergency surgery and extensive rehabilitation. Recognizing the potential long-term impacts on the client’s life, Crossen Law Firm took swift action to ensure he received the best possible medical care. The firm coordinated with local trusted medical providers so that the injured worker could receive treatment close to home, ensuring family support during his recovery journey.

Vital Medical Support and Recovery

This proactive approach to medical care greatly influenced the client’s recovery trajectory. With continuous therapy and specialized assistance, the man showed an exceptional recovery—an outcome that is often rare with injuries of such severity. He regained various abilities, allowing him to live independently and care for himself and his family, a testament to both his resilience and the quality of the medical care he received.

Challenges Ahead: Long-Term Effects

Despite the notable recovery, the injury's long-lasting effects meant that the worker could not return to gainful employment. Medical professionals assessed him with a 65% whole person permanent partial impairment rating, deeming him permanently and totally disabled. This unfortunate determination highlighted the seriousness of the injury and underscored the need for reliable financial compensation.

A Resolution That Brings Stability

In pursuit of justice, the Crossen Law Firm diligently worked to secure compensation that reflected the serious nature of the injury, the client’s permanent disability, and the significant loss of earning capacity. After comprehensive negotiations, the case was resolved with a settlement of $725,000. This financial compensation is vital, providing essential support for the injured worker and his family, securing their future amid ongoing challenges.

Attorney Trevor Crossen commented, "This case reflects our commitment to standing by injured workers from the very beginning. Basic safety measures could have prevented this tragedy. Our mission is to ensure that anyone harmed by negligence receives both the medical support and financial compensation they deserve."
