Glen R. Sample v. L.L. Brown, LLC, et al.

March 18, 2025

In the case of Glen R. Sample v. L.L. Brown, LLC, et al., the plaintiff was working on the construction site of a bridge overpass when his glove became hooked on a crane line, resulting in him being hoisted into the air and subsequently dropped. The plaintiff claimed he could no longer work due to the injuries he sustained from this accident. Michele Albers, M.S., L.P.C., C.R.C., C.L.C.P., was retained by Defense counsel to provide an Earning Capacity Evaluation for the plaintiff after the Plaintiff-retained expert inaccurately concluded that the plaintiff was “permanently and totally disabled.” Ms. Albers conducted a thorough evaluation following peer-reviewed methodology and adhering to the CRCC Code of Professional Ethics. Her analysis focused on determining the plaintiff’s actual earning capacity and ability to return to work, considering objective medical evidence and labor market research. The report developed by Ms. Albers was prepared for mediation purposes, allowing the Defense attorney to leverage her well-supported rebuttal opinions to achieve a positive outcome for their client, effectively countering the inaccuracies presented by the Plaintiff-retained expert. Our retaining attorney communicated the following at the conclusion of the case, “We truly appreciate your time and expertise. Your report was quite comprehensive and I’m sure it assisted Frank in obtaining a positive outcome at mediation.”
