Healy Scanlon Veugeler Gannon would like to congratulate Kevin Veugeler for securing a $5,000,000 settlement plus waiver of $800,000 in workers’ compensation benefits for a Sprinkler Fitters Local Union 281, U.A. member who was injured on a jobsite. The fitter sustained a shoulder injury while completing punch list items for his employer. Kevin’s investigation revealed the general contractor controlled the jobsite and was in charge of the work being done by the sprinkler fitter contractor. Combing through 40,000+ documents, Kevin was able to prove the general contractor failed to provide a safe place to work.

Another union worker was injured on the same jobsite and suffered multiple fractures to their skull, jaw, wrist, and back. Unfortunately, that injured worker hired a billboard attorney, that advertised themselves as the largest personal injury firm in Illinois, to represent him. While in that case the issues were the same, that injured worker received no money from the general contractor, as his attorney was unable to prove the general contractor was in charge of the jobsite.

As this demonstrates, the choice of attorney an injured worker makes could make the difference between a successful recovery or no recovery at all. Healy Scanlon Veugeler Gannon stands by our reputation for success in recovering for injured union workers. Again, congratulations to Kevin on his hard work and securing this remarkable settlement for his client.

While litigating this case, Kevin was able to show that the general contractor and owner of the jobsite failed to follow their own site-specific safety plan to protect the safety of their subcontractors. Through documents and deposition testimony, Kevin was able to establish that the general contractor and owner failed to provide a safe place to work.
