$2,600,000 Settlement – Workplace Burn Injuries Factory Denial of Care Wrongful Death

A settlement was reached in the wrongful death suit of a Chicago-area family, whose devoted, hard-working, 50-year-old father suffered extreme burn injuries on the job. After he sustained severe injuries, the factory where he worked as a temporary laborer would not call an ambulance and had a co-worker drive him to a clinic instead.

The delay in treatment led to respiratory failure, sepsis, and multisystem organ failure that led to his untimely death. After a protracted discovery process, the family received a $2.6 million settlement.
