When you're recovering from an accident, the last thing you need to worry about is paying your medical bills or how to obtain compensation for the income that you have lost because of your injuries. You need a knowledgeable and trustworthy personal injury to work for you. That's where we come in. Attorney Edwin Acosta-Diaz has nearly two decades of legal experience working primarily on personal injury claims, specifically in labor/construction, motor vehicle, and slip and fall accidents.
How It Works
At our law office, we focus on representing folks who have sustained injuries from serious accidents and wish to dispute a claim against insurance companies, government entities, or other powerful parties. Throughout this process, our primary goal is to secure reasonable compensation for the damages sustained by the injured party. If an amicable settlement cannot be reached, we utilize our immense court experience to take your case to trial. There, a jury will determine the adverse party's liability, as well as the value of your damages.
Case Outcomes
As an illustration, Mr. Acosta-Diaz, along with co-trial counsel, obtained the following in his four most recent cases:
• $12,777,046.00 verdict for a construction worker who was involved in an accident where a personnel hoist malfunctioned, it fell approximately 15 feet and crashed onto the floor below. The worker sustained permanent injuries to the cervical and lumbar spine, requiring surgeries to both areas. The jury rejected the defendants' arguments that the impact was insignificant and that the injuries of the worker preexisted the accident.
• $6,300,000.00 settlement, after a month-long trial, for a construction worker who sustained permanent injuries to the cervical and lumbar spine, requiring surgeries to both areas.
• $6,000,000.00 settlement, during the third week of a highly contested trial and dispute over liability, for a construction worker who fell into a hole and was caused to sustain multiples fractures to the right femur, sustained a right hip labral tear and permanent injuries sustain permanent injuries to the cervical and lumbar spine.
• $5,800,000.00 verdict for a construction worker who slipped and fell into a floor opening and was caused to sustain serious injuries to the left knee, neck, back and left shoulder. The jury rejected defendants' argument that the worker's prior injuries and accidents, and not the instant accident, were the reason why the worker could not return to work.
