While in the course and scope of his job duties at a major food distribution company, our client was injured when the manual pallet jack he was working with malfunctioned, pushing him back against the lift-gate and causing him to fall backwards while his left and foot were stuck.  He suffered a horrible ankle fracture as a result of the incident.  A lawsuit was filed in June of 2017 and after a year of litigation, we were able to reach a confidential and substantial settlement agreement with the employer which included waiver of any subrogation rights for the past medical liens they incurred as part of his employ benefit plan and separate compensation for his pain and suffering.
