$1,500,000 Settlement – Train Tracks Construction Fall Serious Injuries

While working on elevated train tracks in downtown Chicago, our client, a laborer, fell 22 feet from the elevated train tracks to the ground, causing serious injuries. The fall resulted in multiple lacerations, a depressed right frontal skull fracture with an underlying hematoma causing mass effect/pressure on adjacent brain tissue, causing permanent encephalomalacic change in his right frontal lobe and permanent dead brain tissue, multiple lower- and upper-body fractures, and a rotator cuff injury.

As a result of his injuries, our client was hospitalized for approximately two weeks. Following his release, our client required 24-hour home nursing care for over a month and then periodic home nursing care. Since the accident, he has undergone seven surgeries to treat his injuries and will likely have to undergo future surgeries as a result of his injuries.
