D.M. v. Allstate Insurance

Workplace Injury Case: Our client was hit in a parking lot as pedestrian by a co-worker. She was referred to us by another attorney. She had workers compensation and was contacted by them and told that she would have a lien and that her benefits could be taken away. Workers compensation laws in Arizona are somewhat confusing. There are different steps that need to be addressed and the statute of limitations is different when you have a worker's compensation claim. Our client required foot surgery. We were able to get the workers compensation to reduce by 90%. Our client wrote us an email thanking us and copied the referring attorney. When we later talked to the referring attorney, he said he was impressed with our client service. He said after our client told him all the great things we did for her, it would not have surprised him if we delivered cookies and milk to her doorstep. Although we have never quite done that, our clients do get the best of treatment and we were happy to hear that she was content with our client service and the settlement.
