Our firm secured a $900,000 settlement for a convention worker who suffered serious, life-altering injuries while working at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This case highlights the dangers posed by heavy equipment on large commercial sites and the importance of holding contractors accountable for unsafe work practices.
The incident occurred while our client was in Las Vegas working at a trade show. During the course of his duties, heavy equipment being moved by contractors struck him, causing severe head trauma. Following the accident, medical evaluation revealed a brain tumor that required neurosurgery. Even after surgery, our client continued to experience debilitating symptoms, including chronic headaches, light sensitivity, dizziness, and cognitive impairments that significantly affected his daily functioning.
Prior to the incident, our client was active and independent. After the injury, his ability to work, drive, and manage everyday tasks was dramatically reduced. The impact of the injury extended beyond him personally, placing substantial emotional and practical strain on his family as they adjusted to his ongoing medical needs and limitations.
The defense attempted to minimize responsibility by pointing to preexisting medical conditions. Through extensive discovery and deposition testimony—including testimony from the treating neurosurgeon—we established a clear connection between the convention center accident and the long-term neurological harm our client endured. We demonstrated that the trauma from the incident substantially worsened his condition and permanently altered his quality of life.
By aggressively challenging attempts to shift blame and carefully presenting the medical and factual evidence, our firm was able to overcome the defense’s arguments and secure a $900,000 settlement. The recovery provided critical financial security and recognized the profound impact of the injuries caused by the defendants’ negligence.
This case underscores the value of experienced legal representation in complex injury cases involving large venues and corporate defendants. When responsibility is disputed, thorough preparation and strategic advocacy make all the difference.
