Patrick also litigated a workers compensation claim for a factory worker in Worcester County that was injured by being pulled into a machine and losing function in his non-dominant arm. We hired an expert to examine the machine that was built by the employer for use in the factory. Since it was built by the employer there was no third party liability so it was only a workers compensation case. The employee was also not a high wage earner that brings the potential settlement value down. Workers compensation cases are not like third party cases the highest settlements are in the range posted here unless the workers is receiving the maximum compensation rate and the is gross negligence of the employer causing the injury to employee. We are pursing claims on that level currently. In this case we did the same thing and the employer realized the risk and the case was settled for $440,000.00 dollars. I double his recovery. This worker was also approved for social security disability. Always looking out for the little guy.
