One moment changed everything for a career truck driver who spent his life on the road doing the work he loved. While completing a routine task of securing cargo, a workplace accident resulted in severe back and neck injuries, multiple disc herniations, and years of chronic pain that ended his career for good. After extensive treatment, three spinal fusion surgeries, and no ability to return to work, he turned to Attorney Paul Jenkins. Paul secured years of full medical coverage, weekly income benefits, Social Security Disability and refused multiple lowball settlement offers. When the insurance company finally realized we would not back down, the insurer finally stepped up.

Our client suffered a devastating neck injury while renting a go-kart. After experiencing brake failure during her first race and alerting staff, she was unknowingly placed back into the same go-kart for a second race. Again, the brakes locked, causing her to crash into a wall and suffer a broken neck. She required cervical fusion surgery after more than two weeks in the ICU and has since experienced permanent loss of movement in her neck. Unable to continue working, she was forced to close her business and retire early. Despite initial setbacks and a previous attorney withdrawing from the case, we stepped in and secured a $600,000 settlement to compensate for her pain, lost income, and life-changing injuries.

While assisting with school bus duty, our client was hit from behind by a student driver in the school parking lot. The impact spun her 180 degrees and caused severe injuries to the entire right side of her body, with secondary injuries developing on the left side. Despite video footage clearly showing the incident, she was initially offered only $200 a week in workers' compensation and forced to endure months of delays in care and therapy. Unable to return to her job due to restrictions, both the school system and at-fault driver refused to take accountability. With mounting medical bills, she was forced to sell her home and move into a rental three times more expensive. Through aggressive advocacy and persistence, we secured a $500,000 combined settlement to help her regain financial stability and access the long-term care she needs.
