Vernon J. Petri secured an $8.5 million settlement in a landmark construction site negligence case involving severe injuries to a school-aged boy. The incident occurred due to unsafe conditions at an active construction site, where proper safety measures and protections were not in place.

After a thorough investigation and expert testimony, Mr. Petri demonstrated that negligence by those responsible for the site directly caused the child’s life-altering injuries. The case resulted in one of the largest personal injury recoveries in Indiana at the time, reflecting his ability to hold negligent parties accountable and obtain substantial compensation in catastrophic injury cases.
