Able-Bodied Seaman Paralyzed by Virus Wins Tough Settlement

“Thanks again for everything. We can finally put all of this behind us and start a new life. Thank you Tim, Lise and all who worked so diligently to make this possible.”

“We are Jim and Jane and we are clients of Tim Young. Tim took our case when nobody else would and has worked tirelessly, along with his assistant Lise, to acquire a fair settlement for us. I am happy to say we reached a settlement this past October and are quite pleased. Jim finally got his truck. He is VERY happy. Thanks again for everything. We can finally put all of this behind us and start a new life. Thank you Tim, Lise and all who worked so diligently to make this possible.”


Jim’s case was both incredibly tragic and challenging to work on. He had been working overseas when he contracted a viral infection that, at first, appeared to be a relatively standard infection; he had signs of a cough, fever, and shortness of breath. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and a bad case of bronchitis and sent on his way. However, after a few weeks, his symptoms started worsening. He kept experiencing ongoing nausea, dizziness, and coughing, but it wasn’t until he woke up one morning completely paralyzed that the severity of his illness hit home.

The company tried to argue that Jim’s symptoms were fake, but numerous medical records showed that he was suffering from a variety of different issues. Multiple times the company submitted documents to the court requesting that the case be dropped, and each time it was denied. After a lengthy back and forth, we were able to finally settle the case with the company and send Jim home with a settlement check that he was pleased with.
