• ST. LOUIS, MO, June 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cynthia Hennessey has recently won several million-dollar settlements from work-related injury cases. With over two decades of workers' compensation experience and six years of experience as a registered nurse, Cynthia brings her compassion and expertise to the niche area of workers' compensation cases. Before becoming an attorney, Cynthia spent six years as a registered nurse working in both the pediatric and adult intensive care areas. This experience led her to develop a compassion for defending those who have been injured at work and ensuring they receive the medical treatment and payment they deserve. Federal and state laws require employers to pay for any work-related injuries, disabilities from these injuries as well as reimbursement for an time lost from not being able to work. Many claims are denied by these companies the first time through and the employees never truly receive the benefits that are required by law. "After seeing firsthand the injuries obtained at the workplace I can't simply turn my eyes away," said St. Louis attorney Cynthia Hennessey. "I have developed a compassion for my clients to receive the settlement they deserve to ensure they can pay for medical bills and expenses occurring from the injury." Recently, Cynthia has won several influential settlements for clients. She helped obtain 1.4 million dollars for a worker who was injured in a rear end collision. She also helped win $650,000 for an injured person who has a disc slip due to a work-related injury. Cynthia also won lifetime work compensation benefits for both a warehouse worker who sustained an injury lifting on the job and a street cleaner who sustained a should and lower back injury while working. About Cynthia Hennessey Cynthia graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri with a degree in nursing in 1985. Cynthia served as a pediatric nurse then an adult intensive care nurse, allowing her to gain valuable experience relating to injuries. Later, Cynthia launched her career in the law field. She graduated from St. Louis University with her law degree in 1991 and moved forward with her legal career after taking a job at Evans and Dixon. Cynthia later decided to branch out and start her own firm where she could focus solely on workers' compensation injury cases.
