Our firm secured a strong result for a winery employee injured while stepping off a forklift. A simple awkward twist led to a lumbar sprain that progressed into severe, life-altering sciatica. Attorney Steve Franco successfully developed the medical and legal evidence to prove that this seemingly minor incident caused lasting, lifelong symptoms.
Practice context
Workers Compensation
Injured workers may have remedies beyond the workers' compensation system when a third party — an equipment manufacturer, a subcontractor, or an unsafe property owner — contributed to the accident. Third-party liability claims are not subject to workers' comp exclusivity and can recover damages for pain and suffering that comp benefits do not cover.

The case was settled in less than a year, and I was delighted with the outcome.
