Struck by a Freight Elevator Gate at Work — A Department Store Employee's Story

When a freight elevator gate came down and hit her in the neck and both shoulders — knocking her to a bent position — this department store flow team member knew she needed help fast. The impact left her with pain in her neck, both shoulders, chest, lower back, mid back, upper back, and right hip. To make matters more difficult, her employer is self-insured — meaning the company itself was the one fighting her claim, not the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. With her employer pushing back immediately, she turned to the internet for help and found Mike Gruhin. In her own words: "He goes out of his way to make sure I have everything I need and I'm taken care of." Nearly two years into her case, her confidence hasn't wavered: "I'm very proud to call him my attorney. Gruhin & Gruhin for any of the people out there who get injured at work is the best law firm for you." If your employer is self-insured and fighting your workers' comp claim — you may have more legal options than you realize. 📞 216-861-5555 🌐 https://www.gruhin.com 📋 https://www.gruhin.com/contact ⚖️ Mike Gruhin — OSBA Board Certified Ohio Workers' Compensation Specialist Attorney (Certified 1999–2030).
