Client Changes Attorneys and Receives Substantially Increased Settlement

Vernita Brooks, a severally injured electrician, received an increased settlement from $200,000 to $440,000 after switching from a local law firm to Attorneys Jason F. Abraham and Chad A. Kreblin of Michael F. Hupy & Associates. Ms. Brooks’ prior attorneys attempted to settle her case for $200,000 without her permission. In fact, they told Ms. Brooks that it was not possible for her to receive more than $200,000 for her injuries. After Ms. Brooks declined this offer, the prior firm attempted to force her to settle her case, prompting her to seek representation from the Michael F. Hupy & Associates, S.C. Upon taking over Ms. Brooks’ case, Attorneys Abraham and Kreblin immediately hired new experts to evaluate her case, and conducted a proper investigation, leading to the $440,000 settlement.

On February 4, 1998, Vernita Brooks was running electrical wiring through the YMCA portion of the Grand Avenue Mall. As Ms. Brooks was working, several bricks fell from masonry scaffolding above her, hitting her right hand, head, and back, and knocking her off her ladder. Through depositions we later discovered that the bricks that fell on Ms. Brooks were recklessly placed on two boards above the mason’s scaffolding. As the mason attempted to move the boards, the boards separated, and the bricks fell on Ms. Brooks, who was working below. As a result of this accident, Ms. Brooks’ right thumb needed to be surgically fused, and she sustained permanent nerve pain in her hand, and permanent back pain. Although her injuries were serious, Ms. Brooks was extremely happy with her increased settlement, and is looking forward to moving on with her life.

Not all lawyers are created equal. Some attorney’s advertise that they are experienced in handling large cases, but in fact, have handled very few. The law offices of Michael F. Hupy & Associates has a proven track record in handling large cases, and has a large staff equipped to get you the results you deserve.
