Michael Fisher, Timothy Keiser, and Allison Dolan of GWC Injury Lawyers have obtained a $6.6 million settlement on behalf of a 66-year-old man who sustained a traumatic brain injury in a construction site workplace incident.
The Jury Verdict Reporter has verified that this recovery is the largest work injury settlement ever recorded in Will County. The matter was successfully resolved through mediation with Hon. Michael J. Powers (Ret.).
The record-setting outcome represents a significant victory for injured workers and their families in Illinois. Timothy J. Keiser, Partner at GWC, stated, “This recovery reflects not only the catastrophic impact of our client’s injuries but also the tireless advocacy required to achieve justice in cases like this. Our firm is proud to stand up for injured workers and to secure outcomes that make a real difference in their lives.”
Despite the Plaintiff’s ability to function independently and operate a motor vehicle, his injuries have had a profound impact on his ability to work and resume life as he had enjoyed before this event. The Plaintiff will now have the resources necessary for long-term medical care and support. Allison Dolan, Associate at GWC, added, “Our client and his family have endured an unimaginable ordeal. No amount of money can undo the harm, but this settlement provides the security and resources they need to move forward with dignity and stability.”
