Our client was injured when a bit on a barge broke free and struck him in the ankle.  The company offered $35,000 as a full settlement to him, and he phoned us to discuss the fairness of such an offer.  We advised it was not fair given his injury and high rate of pay at the time of the injury.  We ultimately reached a settlement of $370,000 for the client who was amazed at the true value of his claim.
