How Ankin Law Fought for An Injured Workers’ Rights – and Won

One of Ankin Law’s attorneys fought for years to defend the rights and compensation for a single mother who was injured on the job.

It ended up being another win for one of our clients.

Attorney Phil Risley worked with this client who was hurt at work against the insurance company, who stopped benefits on multiple occasions.

Each time, he filed motions in court to make sure she wouldn’t lose those, which were essential for her and her young daughter. Phil continued to fight for her client for years and got her a number of things in settlement, including all the money she was entitled to when off work, medical bills paid along with compensation for her injury.

“I know that at the end of this case we got her a very good settlement. We helped her get some stability back in her life, get some financial security back in her life,” said Risley.

You can watch more on this “Wins For Ankin Law Clients” in the video below.
