My name is Ramon Ortiz, I am from Guatemala, I am 41 years old, and I suffered an accident that changed my life completely. Four fractures in my head, another under my left eye, a broken disc in my neck, constant dizziness, and intense headaches are the result of the unfortunate fall that I had from a scaffold without security, five feet from the ground.

During the end of 2014, I worked the complete work week, Monday through Friday, doing a little bit of everything. On the day of the accident, my supervisor, who is my cousin, asked me to change the stairs that I was using for the scaffold to finish the job quicker. One misstep and my life changed forever.

I remained unconscious for 15 minutes, when I regained consciousness and asked to be taken to the hospital they asked me to wait for my boss. He appeared 40 minutes afterwards and he took me to the nearest hospital center, where they were not equipped with the adequate medical equipment to attend me. From there I was transferred to another hospital where they informed me about my state.

Without knowing exactly what to do in my situation, I called Ginarte immediately. I was surprised by the effectiveness of the service, since a representative of the firm visited me on the same day and said “we are here to help you.” That phrase was a huge relief for me.

Ginarte began the lawsuit for lack of adequate protection in order to protect the safety of the workers such as myself. While my case continues its legal course, I focus on recovering. Thank God I haven’t had to worry about anything. Ginarte has made all the medical appointments and has sought worker’s compensation so that all my medical bills are paid.

The drastic change in my life causes me to suffer everyday. Intense headaches, pain on my neck, shoulders and back make it difficult to do common tasks for a person such as walking, driving, or reading. Nevertheless, despite the consequences my future is now a mystery, what is clear is the importance to have patience, faith and to maintain a positive state of mind.

I know that I have the best firm of lawyers fighting for me. Ginarte’s attention has been very personalized and very professional. I know people who are scared of contacting a lawyer because they do not have their immigration documents in order, but this shouldn’t hinder them from obtaining the legal representation that they need. I recommend that you do the same as me. Trust in God, the medics, and Ginarte.
