Our attorney team at The Barrera Law Firm, PLLC has recovered a settlement in the amount of $3,418,000 for a severely injured construction worker. At only 20 years old, our client was electrocuted while working at a construction site in Arlington.
As reported by ABC7, our client was putting up a 35-foot metal gutter with his coworker when it made contact with live power lines just overhead. The result was devastating: His leg exploded below the knee, and he suffered burns to 50% of his body. His heart stopped for more than 10 minutes.
Our client was fortunate to survive the workplace electrocution, but it still left him with scars, an anoxic brain injury, and in need of amputation.
When the young construction worker reached out to our firm for help, our dedicated attorneys dived right into his case. After two years of fighting relentlessly for this client, we are proud to have secured a life-changing settlement to resolve this construction accident case.
