Construction Accident – $5.75 Million Settlement

Partner Bill Hepner and Counsel Fatos Dervishi settled this case at mediation for $5.75 million (the defendant had a six-million-dollar insurance policy) at a mediation prior to trial. The plaintiff, who was 27 years old at the time of his accident, was injured when he was struck by a beam that fell from a height at a construction site and landed on his leg. He fractured his ankle, talus, and calcaneus and ruptured his Achilles tendon. As a result of his injuries, the plaintiff required five ankle surgeries. Although the plaintiff was not back to work at the time of the settlement, lost future earnings were heavily disputed by the defendants since the plaintiff had a good education and could do non-physical work.
