			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Lake County jury awarded $48 million in damages in the personal injury case of an injured steelworker. The steel workers was reendered a paraplegic (paralyzed from the neck down) after a fall from a ladder at ISG Burns Harbor (now ArcelorMittal) in November 2004.</p>
<p>When an injured person suffers such severe personal injuries as paralysis, no one can ever begrudge the damages in his personal injury cases. $48 million will be needed to provide the home care for him for threst of his life. And we cannot forget what he has lost&#8211;the ability to walk, to dance, to run, and to live a normal life. He will never be able to take care of himself.</p>
<p>Thank goodness the jury saw fit to help this injured workers in this personal injury case.  Congratulations to him and his personal injury lawyers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My client, who, for confidentiality reasons, we will call &#8220;WR&#8221;, was referred to my office by a woman who spoke with me about a case years before but who did not hire me (all of my clients refer me their families and friends, and I appreciate it!).</p>
<p>She broke her ankle and chipped a tooth on a private sidewalk. Most lawyers would tell you: tough case. And it was a tough case. Until I hired an architect and structural engineer to write a report outlining the problems with the sidewalk and the overhang.</p>
<p>Pre-suit, only one of the three Defendants would even return my call. The other two would not acknowledge the claim in any way. That is, until I filed a lawsuit. Once they saw that the cooperative Defendant was settling, and saw that my case was ready to go to trial BEFORE I even filed the case, they knew we were serious.</p>
<p>The funy thing is, about 16 years ago, before I was a lawyer, I broke my leg in the exact same way and got the exact same treatment, and my case settled for $30,000.00.</p>
<p>I was able to get WR more than $120,000.00 for her injuries.</p>
<p>All cases are different and I am certainly not suggesting that I can get anyone anything in particular in their case, but I do guarantee that I will work hard on every case that comes into my office.</p>
<p>Not every case ends as well as WR&#8217;s case. But when they do, it really makes this job worth doing.</p>
