In a recent case, Attorney Michael Levine obtained a $1.4 million settlement in a workplace wrongful death case. Unfortunately, our client’s spouse went to work one morning and never returned home. Though the details of the incident are confidential, suffice it to say the obstacles our client was facing were formidable.
“Florida law makes it nearly impossible to hold an employer accountable when an employee is hurt or killed on the job. Over the years, we’ve had success overcoming these challenges and we were fortunate to do that here,” Michael explains. “Holding wrongdoers accountable is how we help make the workplace safer for all Floridians.”
Despite the legal challenges presented by Florida’s worker’s compensation laws, we were able to resolve this matter in less than six months.
Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi & Cain has previously obtained settlements in workplace death cases including those involving defective lift equipment, unsafe structures, and electrocution.
