Morgan & Murphy, LLP Wins Big for Two Workers’ Comp Clients

With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing across the country, most people are relying on every single paycheck they can get. Suffering a workplace injury during these unprecedented times can be catastrophic for a worker’s financial stability, and workers’ compensation benefits are more important than ever.

Our team of workers’ compensation lawyers from Morgan & Murphy, LLP recently secured two workers’ compensation case victories for clients who were hurt on the job. While every case victory is one to celebrate, we have to admit we felt these case results were especially rewarding. 

We secured settlements for two workers in the amounts of:

  • $114,000: Our 62-year old client formerly worked as a union carpenter before needing both knees replaced due to a workplace accident. She was permanently unable to return to her usual type of employment. The employer offered a light-duty job that amounted to “make work for yourself” and sit in a trailer all day. She had no job duties assigned to her, so often distracted herself with her phone, which she found demeaning and disheartening. Work is generally defined as an activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. A judge agreed that the employer had not handled her situation correctly, and we were able to get her weekly compensation benefits reinstated before settling the case for six figures.
  • $70,000: A 49-year old EMT sustained a serious injury while lifting a patient. The insurance company fought hard to stop paying him the benefits he needed. We were able to prove his injuries caused continuing disabilities, which resulted in his medical expenses being paid and a five-figure settlement.
