Strom & Associates Successfully Disputes False Allegation And Secures Pension And Medical Care For Injured Worker

CHICAGO – Juan Romo, a 37-year-old scrap yard worker sustained severe and permanent
injuries while working at Midwest Motors. He has become wheel-chair bound as a result of
injuries to his back and torso.

Romo was crushed by an end loader while walking in the scrap yard; he was pinned between
the car, the loader and a 75-foot pile of crushed scrap metal. The workers’ compensation
insurance company and Midwest Motors alleged Romo was in the car being moved by the end
loader stealing auto parts at the time of the accident.

Strom and Associates was able to prove that Romo was, in fact, not stealing at the time of the
accident and the injury occurred while he worked for Midwest Motors.
“This was a sever injury as Mr. Romo is now paraplegic,” says Strom. “He was not involved in
any illegal activities and was at work when the accident occurred so he has a right to
compensation for his injuries.”

Now confined to a wheelchair, Romo needs a vehicle and a home designed to accommodate
his injuries. With the help of Strom and Associates, Romo was awarded a pension for life,
medical care at the cost of his employer and is currently in the process of purchasing a
wheelchair accessible van or car through workers’ compensation.

Strom also hopes to help Romo secure a new home at his employer’s expense.
