Client Injured by Fallen Merchandise

The attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm negotiated a settlement on behalf of a client who was injured by fallen merchandise at national retail chain. Our client was browsing merchandise at the retailer when he saw a small side table that interested him. The small table was located on a shelf for customers to browse. When he grabbed it, the marble top of the table fell and struck him on his head. Our client suffered an injury to his neck which required steroid injections and lacerations to his scalp which required staples in emergency treatment. Our client had health insurance through work which helped pay for over $31,000.00 treatment, but his medical insurance company demanded that if he was able to recover money from the national retailer, he must repay them for the money they paid for his medical treatment.

Fortunately, our client found help at the Amaro Law Firm. Within a short time, the attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm were able to recover $100,000.00 from the national retailer’s liability insurance company. After settlement, the attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm negotiated down the health insurance lien on the settlement funds. Our client netted $47,890.00 after his negotiated health insurance lien of $18,242.43 (it was reduced from over $31,000.00) was paid and attorneys’ fees of $33,333.033 and legal expenses were repaid.
