Success Stories
Real People. Real Cases. Real Results.
For over two decades, we've stood beside thousands of injured workers and their families. Every case is unique, but they all share one thing: people who needed someone to fight for them. These are their stories.
How We've Made Wrongs Right℠
These cases represent real victories for real people. While every case is different, these stories show our commitment to fighting for justice.
Cash In Hand
The Challenge
A hard-working employee suffered a workplace injury and was told by their insurance company they'd receive cash payments for their disability. Weeks turned into months, but the promised money never arrived. Medical bills piled up while the insurance company delayed, deflected, and denied.
How Oxner + Permar Helped
Our team immediately filed a motion to enforce the insurance company's obligations. We documented every promise made and every deadline missed. We brought the full weight of North Carolina workers' compensation law to bear on their bad faith tactics.
The Outcome
We secured full back payment of all missed benefits, plus penalties for the insurance company's delay. Our client received every dollar they were owed—and the insurance company learned they couldn't ignore their obligations.
Today, our client is back on their feet financially and continuing their recovery with peace of mind.
When It Rains, It Pours
The Challenge
Life threw everything at once: a slip and fall at work followed by a devastating car accident just weeks later. With two separate claims, mounting medical bills, and multiple insurance companies pointing fingers at each other, our client felt overwhelmed and alone.
How Oxner + Permar Helped
We handled both claims simultaneously, coordinating medical care, negotiating with multiple insurance carriers, and ensuring no stone was left unturned. Our experience allowed us to navigate the complexity while keeping our client informed and supported every step of the way.
The Outcome
We secured substantial settlements from both the workers' compensation carrier and the at-fault driver's insurance company. Combined, these recoveries provided our client with the resources needed for ongoing treatment and financial security.
What started as a nightmare became a story of resilience and recovery, with our client able to focus on healing instead of fighting insurance companies.
Multiple Surgeries, No Representation
The Challenge
After a severe workplace injury requiring multiple surgeries, our client faced over $200,000 in medical bills. The insurance company had been 'handling' their claim—but handling it meant denying necessary treatments, delaying approvals, and offering pennies on the dollar. Our client felt trapped.
How Oxner + Permar Helped
Within days of signing with us, we filed for emergency medical treatment authorizations while simultaneously building a comprehensive case. We brought in medical experts, documented the full extent of the injuries, and made it clear we were prepared to go to trial if necessary.
The Outcome
We negotiated a six-figure settlement that not only covered all medical bills but also provided compensation for pain, suffering, and lost wages. The insurance company finally took the case seriously when faced with experienced counsel.
Our client avoided bankruptcy, received the medical care they needed, and can now plan for a secure future.
New Beginnings
The Challenge
A career-ending injury left our client devastated. After 20 years in their profession, they faced the reality of never returning to the work they loved. Beyond the physical pain, the emotional toll of losing their identity and purpose felt insurmountable.
How Oxner + Permar Helped
We understood this wasn't just about money—it was about dignity and future possibilities. We fought for vocational rehabilitation benefits, secured compensation that recognized the permanent impact on their life, and connected them with resources for career retraining.
The Outcome
We secured a substantial settlement plus ongoing benefits that allowed our client to return to school and start a new career path. The compensation recognized both their physical limitations and their lost earning capacity.
Today, our client has a new career they're passionate about, made possible because we saw them as a person, not just a case number.
Pre-Existing Back Injuries
The Challenge
Our client suffered an assault while at work that aggravated pre-existing back injuries. The insurance company immediately denied the claim, arguing the injuries were pre-existing and not work-related. Their initial offer was insultingly low—barely covering a fraction of the medical bills.
How Oxner + Permar Helped
We brought in medical experts who clearly established how the workplace assault significantly worsened our client's condition. We documented every impact on their daily life and built an irrefutable case showing the direct connection between the assault and their current condition.
The Outcome
We secured a settlement 15 times higher than the insurance company's original offer. What started as a lowball attempt to dismiss our client's suffering ended with just compensation for their injuries.
Our client received the medical treatment they needed and fair compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the workplace assault.
