Fuel Tanker Runs Stop Sign and Injures Family

Our clients, a family of five, were traveling near Summit and Monroe Streets when a fuel tanker ran a stop sign, causing a devastating collision. The crash left multiple family members with serious injuries.

One client suffered catastrophic trauma, including three skull fractures, fractures to her nose and jaw, neck fractures, multiple broken ribs, a fractured clavicle, pelvic fractures, and internal bleeding involving her spleen. She required emergency surgery involving her ribs and spleen, and was placed on stroke watch due to the severity of her injuries.

Another client suffered six broken ribs, a fractured femur requiring surgical placement of a metal rod, and a fractured hip that ultimately required hip replacement surgery. Another passenger sustained a fractured sternum along with a bleeding hematoma behind the sternum. The family’s five-year-old son suffered a forehead injury requiring five stitches.

Lawn Mower Malfunction on the Job
Our client was operating a lawn mower while at work when the machine became caught on an object. After shutting the mower off to inspect the issue, our client placed his hand inside the mower to clear debris. Tragically, the lawn mower unexpectedly restarted. As a result of the
malfunction, our client suffered the amputation of three fingers on his right hand, along with nerve damage to his pinky finger.

Our firm is working diligently on behalf of our client in pursuing his workers’ compensation claim. Attorney Charles Boyk and our workers’
compensation team are focused on helping ensure our client receives fair compensation for his injuries, lost time from work, and the
ongoing support he needs during this difficult time.

Grandfather Fails To See Grandson And Causes Serious Injuries With Vehicle

Our client’s grandfather was leaving his home and getting into his vehicle when the family dog ran outside. Our 2-year-old client followed shortly behind. Unfortunately, the grandfather did not realize the child had slipped outside and was behind the vehicle. As he began backing out of the driveway in his Chevrolet Escalade, our client was tragically run over.

The incident caused devastating injuries, including a concussion, two collapsed lungs, bruising to the left lung, a lacerated liver, and a traumatic brain injury. Our firm is working diligently to help ensure our client receives the compensation, care, and support
needed following this traumatic event.
