Crossen Law Firm Secures $300,000 in Recovery for Hotel Employee Injured by Dog Attack
Overview of the Case
In a noteworthy legal victory, the
Crossen Law Firm has successfully resolved a challenging case involving a hotel employee who sustained significant injuries after being attacked by a resident's dog. This incident not only highlighted the complexities of workplace injuries but also underscored the necessity of robust legal representation in such cases.
The incident occurred when the employee was fulfilling her duties at a hotel. A dog belonging to a resident managed to escape from a hotel room and launched an attack, resulting in severe injuries to the employee's arm that necessitated surgical procedures and a lengthy recovery process.
The Severity of the Injury
The assault caused considerable physical harm, leaving the employee with permanent scarring and a lengthy journey toward recovery. Beyond the physical trauma, the emotional and professional implications of the injury have had lasting effects on her life. This situation required a nuanced approach to both
Workers' Compensation claims and personal injury litigation.
Legal Strategy Employed
Understanding the multi-faceted nature of the case, the
Crossen Law Firm immediately took action to ensure that the employee’s legal rights were fully protected. One key aspect of their strategy was to adeptly navigate the
Workers' Compensation arena while simultaneously pursuing a personal injury claim against the dog's owner. This dual approach allowed them to maximize the recovery for the injured worker.
Despite the challenges, the team successfully managed the workers’ compensation claim, ensuring that all medical costs were covered and that the employee received wage replacement benefits during her recovery period. Concurrently, they gathered evidence to build a compelling personal injury case.
Results Achieved
After thorough documentation of the injuries and demonstrating the enduring impact on the employee's life, the firm was able to secure a
$300,000 settlement from the personal injury claim, in addition to the benefits awarded through
Workers' Compensation. This outcome underscores the importance of holding responsible parties accountable in instances where negligence has led to injury.
The Firm's Commitment to Advocacy
Trevor Crossen, an attorney at the firm, emphasized the importance of evaluating multiple legal avenues for injured workers. “This case is a powerful example of why it’s crucial to look beyond a single claim and consider all legal options available to an injured worker,” he commented. The firm expressed pride in achieving a result that not only reflects the severity of the injuries endured by their client but also her resilience during a taxing recovery process.
