$1,050,000 Partial Settlement for Industrial Worker
Houston industrial injury lawyer Mike Tilton reached a partial settlement of $1,050,000 for a client who suffered a herniated disk in a crane collapse industrial accident. The horrific incident occurred when the cab of a crawler crane sheared away from the crane's base forcefully ejecting the terrified occupant. The crane operator was lucky to survive. Because the workers' compensation carrier refused the injury claim and would not pay the plaintiff's medical bills, Mike Tilton helped his client survive during the pendency of the lawsuit. The firm's innovative approach to establishing liability and circumventing the workers' compensation bar allowed the plaintiff to recover a substantial award.

Houston truck accident lawyer Michael S. Tilton settled a commercial truck accident case for $935,000.

The suit claimed that the driver of the semi-truck caused the accident when she went straight in a "turn only" lane. Even though the police cited the plaintiff for the accident, Mr. Tilton was able to show that the defendants were at fault by tracking down several eyewitnesses who blamed the driver of the semi-truck for causing the accident.
