(Total Recovery)Details
Our client suffered a broken calcaneus, the heel bone, in a construction site fall.
A fracture of this nature is serious and requires prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment to avoid long-term complications.
Unfortunately, the treating medical provider failed to correctly diagnose the injury, leading to a delay in proper treatment and significantly worsening our client's condition.
What began as a personal injury and workers' compensation matter became a medical negligence claim when the misdiagnosis was uncovered.
Edgett Hawk navigated both claims simultaneously, building a comprehensive legal strategy that addressed the construction site negligence and the subsequent medical failure.
The total monetary recovery achieved for our client was $1,500,000.00.
When a workplace injury is compounded by medical negligence, you need attorneys experienced in both areas. That is exactly what we delivered.
