Kevin Riechelson, Managing Attorney of the Trenton office of Garces & Grabler, obtained a settlement of $1,475,000 on behalf of a client for an accident that occurred in Pennsylvania. The client was involved in a construction site accident when a wooden plank was dropped from 20 to 40 feet and struck the client. He sustained a closed head injury as well as injuries to his shoulder, arm and leg. He was unable to return to work following the accident and was determined to be completely disabled by the Social Security Administration. Through investigation, Mr. Riechelson was able to identify the company whose employee dropped the board. The case went to mediation which resulted in the settlement. The client received a structured settlement, which will provide him with guaranteed income for the rest of his life. In addition, it provided for payment of his past lost wages and medical bills.
