$250,000
In May of 2016, our attorneys successfully concluded a settlement of $250,000 in a worker’s compensation claim involving a truck driver who was injured on the job. We represented this claimant since 2012 and battled the insurance companies at every turn. Workers’ compensation lawyer and Board-Certified Specialist Adam Smith was hired by his client while working at another law firm and the client chose to have Smith continue his representation when he joined Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers.
Attorney Smith conducted numerous depositions, hearings on the record, telephonic hearings, and pursued and defended written motions. Of note, attorney Smith successfully achieved a substantial increase in the amount of weekly indemnity payments his client was receiving while he was out of work by demonstrating that similar employees were earning higher wages than his client, who was a new hire on his jobsite. Our attorney also successfully defended three Form 24 Motions to Terminate Benefits. We pursued a Motion to Compel Vocational Assistance so our client could attempt to enroll in a community college while out of work. When the insurance company decided to deny a part of our client’s claim because he had a preexisting injury many years before this accident, Smith took the matter to hearing, deposed our client’s doctors, and won a favorable ruling before a Deputy Commissioner.
After that ruling, the insurance company finally agreed to settle with us. Of note, the insurance company made many overtures to us throughout our representation of this client, at one point offering $150,000. Other lawyers may have jumped at that settlement, or refused to do the hard and expensive work that goes into a hearing. However, attorney Smith pressed forward, continued to fight, and eventually compelled the insurance company to pay something that put our client back on his feet again financially.
This was a long-fought legal battle and we were pleased to have persevered and won on behalf of our valued client. We believe Justice Counts and this case shows why.
$287,000
Our client suffered a back injury in an automobile accident while on the job. The client’s injuries required back surgery. Our client’s workers’ compensation case was admittedly compensable which allowed our client to receive compensation for all medical expenses, including the back surgery, as well as wage replacement compensation during the period of disability. He also hired Riddle & Riddle’s workers’ comp attorneys to handle the entire matter.
Once our client reached maximum medical improvement and after receiving the aforementioned benefits, our client’s workers’ compensation case was then resolved for $200,000 plus a complete lien waiver in the third party auto accident case.
Our client’s automobile accident case against the other driver was then settled for an additional $87,000 prior to suit being filed.
$300,000
Our client was injured when she was rear-ended while driving on the job. As a result of the collision, our client’s back was injured which required several injections and ultimately a lumbar fusion and decompression surgery. The auto accident claim was resolved prior to suit being filed for $200,000. This was the full amount of liability coverage available. Her workers’ compensation case settled at mediation for $100,000 along with a reduction in the lien on the $200,000 recovery from the third-party automobile accident claim.
North Carolina workers’ comp lawyer Chris Brantley handled the claim. We were proud to secure significant compensation for our client in this complicated matter.

The NC workers’ comp lawyers at Riddle & Riddle secured a settlement for a construction worker who suffered compensable back, elbow and knee injuries when an object fell on him at work. Defendants disputed psychiatric and pain management treatment for our client. We filed a request for a hearing regarding the medical issues.
The case settled while the hearing was pending. This case demonstrated clearly the advantages of hiring a NC workers’ comp lawyer to represent an injured worker when the insurance company denies liability. We were proud to have helped our valued client get the justice and compensation he deserved.
$305,000
Our client was a passenger in a small commercial truck rear-ended by an 18-wheeler on I-85 near Concord. He suffered a low back injury which led to a disc herniation. Surgical repair was required. The injured worker was not able to return to work as a roofer for his employer after the wreck.
Unfortunately, prior to the wreck, our client ran a yard mowing business on the side. For several years prior to the wreck he had filed tax returns showing consistent large losses with no taxable income.
Our client continued the mowing business while collecting temporary total disability benefits from workers’ compensation which is not allowed. We filed suit on his third-party claim against the trucker and pursued his workers’ compensation case simultaneously.
Led by NC personal injury and workers’ comp attorney Donald Dunn, we settled the workers’ comp case for $80,000 and later settled the third party case for $225,000. Total compensation recovered for the client was $305,000.

The workers’ compensation carrier paid for all medical bills and workers’ compensation disability benefits for the duration of the Plaintiff’s recovery. The case was resolved through negotiations between Plaintiff and Defense counsel for $325,000 plus all Industrial Commission expenses.
