I’ve handled a lot of life‑and‑death matters, but there was one case that felt like a literal fight for survival. The client was a construction worker who’d been left on a scaffold after a failure in safety protocols. He wasn’t just injured; he was in a precarious position and the employer was dismissive. I argued that the company’s negligence had literally put his life at risk. We didn’t just win a hefty settlement – we forced the company to overhaul their safety training and install new guardrails. It was a courtroom battle that was also a battle for his right to stay alive.
