Most of us have tripped and fallen in our lives. Thankfully, most of the time, the result is just a bruised ego — or perhaps a real bruise or two. However, a trip on a construction site can be catastrophic, as this union sprinkler fitter discovered while helping to build a Wal-Mart store. Although he is mostly confined to a wheelchair these days, the Healy Scanlon Law Firm was able to win 7,217,664.71 for him from Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Kevin Veugeler secured a $3.2 million recovery plus a waiver of $750,000 in Workers' Compensation benefits for a Sprinkler Fitter who fell from a ladder. 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.
