Our client, an oil rig worker, suffered catastrophic spinal cord injuries when a defective light fixture fell and struck him during routine operations. The resulting quadriplegia required lifelong medical care, adaptive equipment, and round-the-clock assistance. Our team conducted an extensive investigation into the product's design and manufacturing defects, working with engineering experts to establish liability. After aggressive litigation, we secured a $44 million settlement — the largest single recovery in our firm's history.
