Silva Injury Law secured a $380,000 settlement for Roberto B., an HVAC contractor who sustained significant injuries, including a left femur fracture and torn ligaments in his left knee, while working at a construction site in Modesto, CA. The defense contended there was no liability based on the employer's safety obligations; however, we effectively demonstrated that the general contractor also played a role in the incident. Additionally, we negotiated a reduction of the workers’ compensation lien from $147,539.76 to $40,000, maximizing the client’s recovery.
