A man who fell face-first onto concrete from the top of a tractor-trailer in Doral has secured an almost $1.2 million settlement from three South Florida companies, with the help of attorneys Christopher Drury of Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein in Miami and Todd Wallen of Wallen Kelley in Coral Gables.

It was a lawsuit that alleged missed opportunities to tighten safety measures and featured a battle over whether plaintiffs lawyers could attend a medical evaluation conducted by the defense.
