Represented NB

Area of Expertise: Workers' Compensation

Settlement Amount: Undisclosed

Represented NB, who was an employee of Prairie Meadows. NB was injured, working as a security officer when she fell assisting in detaining a suspect outside of the casino grounds. NB had prior work-related injuries in her full-time employment with the State of Iowa. The issues in her case were both how to calculate her rate as well as what damages related to her fall. The parties reached a settlement using a combination of both her full-time salary with the State of Iowa and her part-time wages with Prairie Meadows, thereby significantly increasing her settlement value.
