$3 Million

Attorneys Jim Meehan and Jason Warren secured a $3 million settlement for a worker severely injured by a falling guardrail on a personnel lift. The lift, serviced by a third-party maintenance company, had a faulty gas spring meant to slow the guardrail’s descent. For years, technicians failed to repair the issue. While moving the lift at work, the guardrail dropped at full speed, striking the client’s head and causing catastrophic head, neck, and back injuries. Despite multiple spinal surgeries, he continues to suffer chronic pain. An expert inspection revealed the gas spring had been disconnected for years. The case settled successfully through mediation.
