MIAMI, FL - November 13, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Attorney David Benn of the law firm WorkInjuryRights.Com™, a partner of the firm, has secured a landmark settlement of $1.45 million for a 32-year-old traveling employee who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a rollover motor-vehicle accident while on-the-job in Mississippi. The outcome underscores the firm’s steadfast commitment to injured workers, and highlights the value of specialized experience when a workplace-related injury occurs far from home.

The client, a 32-year-old employee whose job required travel away from his home base, was involved in a serious rollover crash in Mississippi while performing company duties. The impact resulted in significant head trauma, leading to a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury, extensive medical treatment, and ongoing care needs. Because the accident occurred in the course of his employment, and because the injury is severe and life-altering, the case demanded a level of advocacy beyond routine workers’ compensation claims. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the employee engaged attorney David Benn and his experienced team.

David Benn, a partner at WorkInjuryRights.Com, brings a deep background in workers’ compensation law and trial advocacy. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he earned his B.A. in Economics from Boston University in 2002, followed by his J.D. from Rutgers University School of Law-Camden in 2005. Prior to representing injured workers, Mr. Benn defended large employers and their insurance carriers in workers’ compensation claims—giving him a distinctive insight into how insurers and employers think and act when a claim is made. Since 2010 his practice has focused exclusively on representing injured workers under Florida’s workers’ compensation statute (F.S. 440.205). He is a member of the Florida Bar and is proficient in Spanish. This background has equipped him to bring dedicated, client-focused representation, ensuring his clients’ voices are heard and their needs addressed throughout the litigation process.

From the outset, the case presented numerous complex challenges. The accident in Mississippi raised jurisdictional and liability issues, and the severity of the injury – a traumatic brain injury – required careful investigation, coordination of medical experts, and measurement of future care and impairment. The employer’s insurer initially attempted to minimize the claim, focusing on work-travel rules and attempting to isolate the accident from the employment context. Recognizing these tactics based on his earlier defense-side experience, Mr. Benn and the legal team pressed for full accountability and thorough compensation for their client’s long-term losses.

The legal team undertook an intensive investigation, gathering accident reconstruction data, medical records, expert neurological opinions, vocational assessments, and life-care planning documents. They worked closely with the injured worker and his family to document not only his current medical condition and impairments, but also the projected cost of future care, cognitive rehabilitation, loss of earning capacity, and diminished quality of life. One of the keys to the successful outcome was presenting compelling expert testimony and life care planning projections that conveyed the full extent of the client’s lifetime needs and losses.

The settlement of $1.45 million reflects recognition by the parties of the long-term nature of traumatic brain injury and the significant impact on the life of a working-aged adult. It also highlights that when an employee is injured while traveling for work, the responsibility of the employer and its insurer extends to the full scope of the injury, including future care and lost earning potential. Mr. Benn commented, “This result was achieved because we refused to accept shortcuts. We insisted on pursuing the full measure of our client’s losses. When someone is injured as they were here, far from home, while performing their job, they deserve more than a quick settlement—they deserve the resources to rebuild their life.”

The firm, WorkInjuryRights.Com™, has a strong reputation in Florida for representing injured workers, particularly in workers’ compensation claims. With a combined 45 years of legal experience among its attorneys, the firm emphasizes that its services are on a contingency-fee basis—meaning clients pay nothing unless the firm secures a settlement or jury award on their behalf. The firm is also bilingual and represents Spanish-speaking clients. The team is prepared to take a case to trial if necessary, and leverages its knowledge of defending-employer tactics (since many of its attorneys previously represented insurance companies) to anticipate and counter insurer strategies effectively. These credentials were instrumental in approaching and resolving the present case with the diligence and skill required.

In this matter, the injured worker now has the means to pursue the care and rehabilitation he will need for years to come, thanks to the results obtained by Mr. Benn and his team. His life has been profoundly changed—not only in terms of cognitive and physical effects, but in prospects for work, earnings, independence and quality of life. The settlement acknowledges those changes and provides resources to meet them. The team continues to monitor the client’s recovery and offers support in coordinating future services and ensuring implementation of care plans.

The outcome also serves as a message to employers, insurers and traveling employees alike: when work brings an employee on the road, the full protection of workers’ compensation law and advocacy must follow. Injuries that occur in transit or at remote job sites should not be treated as peripheral or outside the employment umbrella. They deserve the full scrutiny of advocacy that recognizes travel status does not diminish coverage or accountability. Mr. Benn noted, “Traveling for work adds complexities, but it does not exempt companies or insurers from responsibility. Our client trusted them to send him on the road—and when he was injured, they had an obligation. We held them to that obligation.”

Looking ahead, the firm intends to continue aggressively representing injured workers who face multi-jurisdictional issues, catastrophic injuries, and complicated claims. The lesson from this case is that with specialized focus, experience and perseverance—not merely acceptance of a first-offer settlement—injured workers can obtain meaningful recoveries that reflect their present and future losses. The firm’s approach remains client-centered: from first consultation through resolution, the injured worker and his family are treated as priorities. Mr. Benn stressed, “Our clients are people—not file numbers. We make ourselves available. We monitor their care, we coordinate experts, and we keep them fully informed. That drive is what produces results.”

For injured workers in Florida and elsewhere who are traveling on behalf of their employer, this successful settlement may provide hope and guidance. When someone is away from home and performing job duties, any accident—even one far from the primary work site—can trigger a claim. The key is timely, knowledgeable legal counsel, and a team that recognizes how to assemble the experts, present the full impact of injury, and negotiate accordingly. Employers and insurers may downplay or deflect travel-related injuries; seasoned counsel anticipates that and builds a case accordingly.

As this case demonstrates, a catastrophic injury suffered on the job demands the same level of respect and resources that any major workplace injury deserves—no matter where it occurs. Thanks to attorney David Benn and the team at WorkInjuryRights.Com™, the client now has the financial foundation to address not just his immediate treatment, but his ongoing needs for care, service, rehabilitation, and vocational change. The firm’s commitment to quality legal service for workers’ compensation and travel-related claims continues unabated. Prospective clients facing injuries while traveling or at remote job sites are encouraged to seek experienced legal help promptly.

While confidentiality agreements frequently accompany large settlements and details must remain limited, the overarching facts speak clearly: this 32-year-old traveling employee, while on the job in Mississippi, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a rollover auto accident and obtained a $1.45 million resolution through dedicated legal representation led by David Benn and his firm. It is a testament to what can be achieved when the injury is taken seriously, the full future losses are documented, and a legal team refuses to concede to minimal offers.

In sum, the case reinforces that every injured worker deserves uncompromised advocacy, regardless of location or employer status. Under David Benn’s leadership, WorkInjuryRights.Com™ has once again delivered a meaningful recovery for an individual whose life was forever altered by a single moment on the road. The result affirms the firm’s guiding principle: no fees or costs unless we win your case. For traveling workers, it underlines the message that your safety and rights extend with you as you move about for your job—and that legal protections should follow you. The path to recovery may be long and uncertain, but with the right legal team, injured workers can gain not just compensation but hope for a renewed future.
