Unanimous win! / ¡Victoria unánime!

Short and Daugherty recently won a workers’ compensation trial for our client; then we won a 3-0 appeal.  The trial decision included an award of cervical spine surgery and shoulder surgery.  Our client was attacked and beaten by a 6’, 200lb student.  The insurance company tried to allege that our client wasn’t injured and, if she did need surgery, it was due to natural degenerative changes in her spine.  The insurance company brought in one of the well-known insurance company “experts” who testified that he disagreed with 2 radiologists and the treating orthopedic surgeon that the client needed surgery.  We took expert depositions and went to trial and won.  They appealed.  We went in front of the three Commissioners and won again.  All three Commissioners ruled in our favor.  The insurance company can appeal again, but they would be idiots if they did.  I expect they will…and I expect they will lose again.

Not every case gets the same result but every case gets the same effort.  If you want a firm that will go to trial and fight for you then call Short and Daugherty.  618-655-9499 or 618-254-0055
