Our $2,500,000 Settlement for Injured Welder Gets Special Mention in the New York Law Journal, and in the Verdict Search Magazine

A recent $2,500,000 settlement that was secured by the Law Offices of Kenneth A. Wilhelm has received a special mention in the New York Law Journal under a section that singled out notable construction accident settlements. The New York Law Journal in its May 15 publication highlighted the case involving our client Marek Chilinski.
Our law firm represented the 24-year-old welder who suffered facial injuries that kept him out of work for several months. Chilinski suffered the injuries when he fell through a hole while working on the United Baking Company’s premises. Chilinski fell about 14 feet down a hole after he went through plywood planking that was not strong enough to hold his weight.
Chilinski was transported to an area medical center where he remained hospitalized for about 23 days. He suffered multiple broken bones in his face and had to have his jaw wired. He also had plates and screws implanted into the facial fractures. He was unable to work for 11 months. We were able to settle his case for $2,500,000, days before jury selection was to begin on the case. In addition our client was also able to receive this money tax free, and we reduced the amount owed to workers compensation by over $80,000.
