CASES OF INTEREST: JULY 2025
Assault by Circle K Employee Causes Customer Miscarriage
During a routine fuel stop at a Circle K, our client made a mistake while processing the transaction, and politely asked the clerk to cancel the order so she could re-enter her phone number and redeem her savings. The clerk responded with shocking aggression. He shouted profanities, hurled objects, and physically assaulted our client in front of her terrified children. The vicious attack left her bruised, traumatized, and thrown to the ground as her children watched in horror.
This senseless violence, stemming from blatant racism and Circle K’s failure to employ adequately trained or suitable staff, had catastrophic consequences. Our client, then 6-8 weeks pregnant,
tragically suffered a stress-induced miscarriage following the assault. While the clerk was arrested by the Bowling Green Police Department for assault, no legal outcome can undo the profound damage inflicted. Our firm stands with this family, guiding them through the legal process as they seek accountability.
Job Cutting Down Trees Leads to Catastrophe
Our client was an 8-year veteran of a tree-cutting service. During a routine day on the job, a massive tree landed wrong, pinning him beneath its crushing weight. The situation was so dire that a coworker was forced to use a bulldozer to lift the tree to free him. Our client’s back and both legs were broken. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery. Since the incident, our client has been participating in intensive outpatient therapy, but due to the loss of function in his leg, he has been unable to return to the demanding work of cutting trees.
Our firm is helping our client navigate the complex workers’ compensation process. We will fight for him to receive the compensation he rightly deserves after this devastating accident. Insurance companies and employers often seek to minimize payouts, particularly when long-term or permanent disabilities are involved. Facing a hearing alone, especially while still recovering from such injuries, puts an injured worker at a significant disadvantage.
Injury in Oregon Auto Accident Requires Surgery
While traveling lawfully in Oregon, Ohio, our client was passing through an intersection when a truck failed to yield at a stop sign, causing a forceful collision. The impact discharged our client’s airbags, crushed the vehicle’s front end, shattered the windshield, and forced the engine to protrude through the damaged hood.
EMS promptly arrived at the scene of the crash, where they transported our client via ambulance to the hospital. Doctors treated our client for a fractured leg, requiring surgical implantation of pins and plates. The intensive procedure necessitated a significant absence from work. The team at Charles Boyk Law Offices is working diligently to help our client receive insurance compensation to cover medical expenses and is currently exploring a lost wages claim as well. Our firm is dedicated to helping our clients receive the compensation they are rightfully owed.
