Great advice was given to me a long time ago. It said, “Do great work. And make sure everyone knows about it.” Our team has been doing great work. We haven’t, however, been doing a good job letting people know about it. With that said, here are some of our highlights from the last 30 days…
Jury Trial Win #1
Attorney Todd Saucedo, in his first jury trial representing a claimant, reversed the decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission denying the claimant treatment and temporary total disability benefits. When the decision was read, our client grabbed Todd by the arm at trial table and whispered, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Todd described that moment as one of the best of his career. Great job Todd and Erica.
Life Changing Money
After years of battling (seemingly everyone under the sun) we disbursed monies to our client who was in a motor vehicle collision while working. We had already gotten him workers’ comp payments to get him back on his feet. The case resulted in just over $290,000 to him – after all fees, expenses, and liens. This will surely change the life of a man who has been living in a trailer for years. Attorney Matt Grogan stuck with our guy for years to make sure he saw justice.
Dog Bites Can Result in Serious Injuries
We resolved a dog bite case for the full policy limits of $300,000 for a veteran who was bitten pretty seriously. The insurance company was dug in at $175,000. However, our bad faith correspondence just before filing suit brought them to their senses. Proud of Attorney Angelica Carliner and Navi for taking no sh!+!
Jury Trial win #2
This one is a lower case “win” but a win nonetheless. It beat the offer, making it a win, but we certainly wanted more than the $15,000 awarded. The case was contested the whole way through and at trial. Facts were difficult, but sometimes that’s what happens when you take a case. I was very proud of attorney Jonny Akchin and his guy Duke for fighting the good fight and seeing our case and client through to the end.
The Client Doesn’t Always Feel It as a Win
We had a tough one that concluded in the last 30 days, and I’m not sure our client was thrilled with us. Objectively, it was a really solid result in a tough case with some tough causation. The six-figure money was meaningful. That said, our client went back and forth between extensive gratitude for us and disdain for us not being able to secure more money. Every injury lawyer has been there with this kind of case. Great work attorney Rebecca Smith and Amanda handling a tough situation.
Jury Trial Win #3
Another jury verdict reversing Maryland’s Comp Commission. Another example of fighting the good fight. Attorney Jim Lanier, a true dean of the workers’ comp bar, went out to Frederick and spent two days convincing a jury that our client needed their help in securing medically necessary treatment and temporary total disability payments. The group text afterward to the Warnken, LLC workers comp crew including Vicki is always sweet!
These were just six of our case conclusions. We spent the month doing what we do every month – absolutely battling to secure treatment and compensation for our injured clients. In addition to the results above, 13 clients left 5-star Warnken, LLC reviews! Even though we highlight only a few, every case is important and every case needs to be maximized. Our team is here for it! Huge congratulations to the hard-working team at Warnken, LLC!
