Our client was helping trim a tree at a property in Archie, Missouri, when a large branch unexpectedly fell and knocked him off the ladder he was standing on. The fall caused him to suffer serious injuries, including fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and faced a painful recovery as his injuries slowly healed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the case, the insurance adjuster argued that the client should receive less compensation because he did not require follow-up medical treatment after leaving the hospital. Our legal team pushed back, explaining that injuries like fractured ribs and a punctured lung typically heal on their own and often do not have additional treatment options, meaning the client simply had to endure the pain while his body recovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
