Levinson Axelrod, P.A. Attorney Richard Marcolus recently secured a $216,000 settlement for a laborer who sustained a serious back injury while breaking down scaffolding at work. The worker underwent an L4-5 discectomy as a result of the injury.

Despite these obstacles, Rich Marcolus vigorously advocated for his client throughout the legal process, resulting in a favorable settlement. The parties ultimately agreed on $216,000, with a provision that allows the worker to re-open the case within two years if further medical issues arise.
