We represented an undocumented immigrant who worked as a welder for a construction company. He has lived in North Carolina for many years and has children born here. In July 2011, our client fell from a platform and sustained a very severe and disabling head injury. His doctors told his wife and children shortly after his fall that he had suffered a basilar skull fracture and brain injury. Soon thereafter, we helped the family file petitions to have his family members serve as his Guardian. Our workers’ comp attorneys in North Carolina went to court with the family to have the appointment for Guardian concluded. The insurance company accepted liability and we helped our client get weekly compensation payments and medical care. All of his medical bills were paid. We completed several mediations and many post-mediation negotiations by telephone which finally resulted in a significant settlement.
The process was long and arduous but necessary in order to resolve the claim for the value of our client and his family deserved. The settlement funds were placed in 2 trusts so that the funds for our client would be available to him for life in a way that would provide for all of his medical and other needs. This was one of the most time-consuming cases we have ever handled. Several staff members and three attorneys worked very diligently on this case during the several years it took to resolve this case. Our client spoke Spanish and some English, as did his family members, but we have Spanish interpreters who were always available to make sure that we had effective and prompt communication with our client and his family.
After a hard-fought legal battle on our injured client’s behalf, we were proud to help him and his family get the justice and compensation they deserved in this challenging and heartbreaking case.

Our valued client was driving a truck for his employer when a dump truck crossed the center line and hit him head-on. He suffered multiple injuries including the eventual loss of his left leg below the knee. He was successfully fitted with an orthopedic foot and managed very well. Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers personal injury and workers’ comp lawyer Gene Riddle worked out settlements with both the workers’ compensation insurance carrier and the carrier for the defendant third party dump truck.
The workers’ compensation carrier paid for all medical bills which totaled approximately $350,000 and paid indemnity to him until his case was settled. The workers’ compensation carrier then paid an additional $55,000 to our client and waived its lien against the third-party claim in its entirety. The third party paid an advance of $10,000 within a few weeks of the accident, as a result of the efforts of our attorneys. The case was ultimately settled with the dump truck for $1,400,000 in addition to all funds paid by the workers’ compensation carrier.
This was a tragic case involving a life-changing injury, which can never be fully compensated.
