Workers’ Compensation – Brain Injury – Workers’ Compensation

$1,100,000

Workers’ Compensation ( Brain Injury, Attendant Care): Recovered on behalf of a client who sustained a traumatic brain injury in 1991. Following his injury he was unable to care for himself because of memory and other cognitive problems. Our client’s wife provided all of his care. The client was represented by another attorney from 1991 to 2008 who had no experience in worker’s compensation claims. No compensation was paid to our client’s wife from 1991 to 2008. In 2008 our firm was retained and we immediately sought reimbursement for the care that our client’s wife had provided over 17 years. The case was tried before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. Our firm won the case at trial. On appeal, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier settled the case.
