Best Harassment Lawyers in Chicago, IL

GWC Injury Lawyer’s attorneys Michael D. Fisher, Lawrence J. Amato, and Autumn K. Leslie secured a settlement worth $4,990,000. The settlement relates to a first-year elevator constructor apprentice who was injured when a major Illinois general contractor's workers dropped a piece of drywall, striking the nearby working elevator constructor on the shoulder resulting in bi-later shoulder injuries and a cervical disc injury.   GWC filed suit against both the general contractor and the individual carpenters on the project. GWC argued that the general contractor was liable because its employees negligently dropped the cement board on GWC’s client despite knowing that he was working below them.  Additionally, GWC argued that the general contractor was also liable for the accident because of the level of control it exercised over all aspects of the project, including jobsite safety and scheduling, sequencing and coordinating the work on the project so as to prevent multiple trades from working too closely to one another.    Through extensive discovery, the GWC team persuaded the Defense team that its clients’ claims were legitimate. Despite multiple liability and 4 medical experts against GWC, GWC Injury Lawyers prevailed for another union worker.
