Record Verdict for a Personal Injury Amputation Case
Leading amputation lawyer, Aaron DeShaw, was part of a trial team that obtained a record verdict of $82,105,345.70 this week in Jefferson County, Ohio.
Background facts of the Commercial Utility Truck vs. Motorcycle Crash
Our client, Michael Shank, was hit on a motorcycle by a commercial vehicle resulting in the amputations of his left arm and leg. The case was a highly contested liability case where the companies at fault for the crash blamed our client.
No Safety Programs for Commercial Drivers
The defendant driver, Robert Gerner, worked for Hilltop Energy (an explosives company) at the time of the crash. One of his primary jobs was to maintain the vehicles of a sister company, D.W. Dickey (a cement company). The two companies are both owned by two brothers and D.W. Dickey is co-owned by their children.
During the litigation it became clear that driver Robert Gerner had a Commercial Driver's License ("CDL") for nearly 50 years and was operating a DOT licensed heavy utility truck. Despite having a fleet of cement trucks, D.W. Dickey's corporate representative noted the company had no company safety policy for its commercial drivers (other than instructions to follow the law.) Similarly, it became clear that Hilltop Energy also had no safety program for commercial drivers. Despite Gerner working for both companies for over 11 years, he had never been trained as a commercial vehicle driver by either company.
Representatives for the two companies also testified in depositions that neither company had a budget for safety programs. This is contrary to the state and federal laws for running commercial vehicles.
While the companies agreed prior to trial that they were going to accept insurance coverage (but not liability) for Gerner, at trial the companies both suggested they weren't Gerner's employer, and that the jury shouldn't find either employer at fault, despite it being clear that Gerner was definitely on the job at the time he hit Shank.
Like many cases, a history of unsafe commercial driver operations resulted in a crash. In this case, the injuries were far more serious than in most cases.
Challenging Liability Determinations
At the scene, the driver of the commercial vehicle claimed that Mr. Shank turned left in front of the truck with his motorcycle. Shank, who sustained a severe traumatic brain injury with an epidural hematoma, had no memory of the crash and still today has no memory from that morning until 28 days later.
There were three lay witnesses who saw the crash. Two claimed that the truck driver was driving at an excessive speed of 60-65 in a 55 mph zone. One driver ahead of the utility truck saw Mr. Shank and applied her brakes and swerved slightly because she noted him being close to the midline of an unmarked intersection. One lay witness saw the utility truck driver pass his truck (going 55), veer to the left past the midline of the intersection and hit the motorcycle. Oddly, the Ohio State Police appear to have ignored the lay witness statements about the truck being at fault (which they had collected).
The excess speed of the utility truck was clear. After the impact, the truck continued hundreds of feet, over a cement median, rotating 180 degrees at a high rate of speed, skidding backwards, and crashing into the cement median on the opposite side of the road.
The Ohio State Police took many photographs of the scene, well documenting the roadway, skid marks, gouge marks and the resting place of the vehicles. Oddly, the police reconstruction ignored a gouge mark in the street that marked the first point of impact, that was spray painted by on the scene police officers. The defendants relied upon this and the truck driver's statement that Shank had turned left in front of him before impact.
Then defendants hired a former police crash reconstructionist to rely upon the Ohio State Police reports that failed to note the initial point of impact, instead placing the point of impact several inches into the utility truck driver's lane.
Double Amputation Legal Team - Changing Counsel
The crash occurred in September 2017 near Steubenville Ohio. While the plaintiffs, Michael and Brittany Shank initially hired a West Virginia and Ohio firms, they ended that relationship when they weren't getting adequate response from the lawyer. The Shank family chose West Virginia personal injury lawyer George Sidiropolis who represented them for many years, taking the case over from other lawyers.
Discovery and depositions were nearly complete by the time we were hired. Sidiropolis and DeShaw have been friends for many years through their mutual interest in institutional insurance bad faith and class action cases.
Sidiropolous learned of Aaron DeShaw's record $77,523,748.93 million verdict in the amputation trial of MM v. Nicolopoulos in February 2023.
In June 2023 Sidiropolous hired Aaron DeShaw of the DeShaw Law Firm, and leading truck crash lawyer Michael Leizerman of The Law Firm for Truck Safety as trial counsel. While Leizerman is nationally known as one of the best truck crash lawyers in the United States, his primary office is in Ohio where the crash occurred. DeShaw is one of the leading amputation lawyers in the country with two of the largest amputation verdicts in US history. Our amputation law firm was hired to handle the demand letters, as well as the direct examination of the orthopedic surgeon, the prosthetist and the economist, as well as any cross examinations of defense doctors, prosthetists, or damage experts.
Before DeShaw and Leizerman agreed to participate, the three firms considered the clients, the case, the expert witnesses, and formulated a path forward.
Leizerman, who has extensive experience and expertise in truck crash litigation, hired a team to scan the area of the crash and then print out a 3 foot wide by 15 feet long graphic of the curved roadway. Using this graphic, he used models of the truck and motorcycle for use in discussing the crash in depositions and trial.
Leizerman also hired an exceptional crash reconstructionist who laser scanned the crash scene, then captured high resolution photos of the entire area with drones for highly detailed data on the scene to put into crash reconstruction physics programs. The result was a 105 page crash reconstruction report that demonstrated that the truck driver was over the midline of the unmarked intersection, resulting in the utility truck hitting a stopped motorcycle.
Michael Leizerman was permitted by the court to take one new deposition of the truck driver, and his extensive experience handling commercial vehicle and trucking cases resulted in case-changing admissions. This included that Robert Gerner was looking away from the road for over 400 feet, and was not even aware of what he hit. He acknowledged that he had misrepresented that the motorcycle turned left in front of him to police at the scene. He admitted that while he had seen Shank's motorcycle approximately a 1/4 mile before the crash, he never saw him again before he hit something. He noted that when he hit the object he didn't know what he had hit. As a result, we knew that the original police reconstruction was incorrect. If he didn't see what he hit, he clearly didn't see Shank turn his motorcycle left in front of the truck.
Creating Images of the Injuries
An important part of an amputation case is the visual demonstrative aids and exhibits so that the jury understands the initial injury, the progression of surgeries to salvage the limb, complications of the surgery, and the final outcome. Great care must be taken to not lose jurors due to the graphic nature of the injuries.
In this case, we did not have many photographs of the injuries taken by the family or added to the medical file. As a result, both Dr. DeShaw and High Impact Graphics looked at the original DICOM imaging files from the hospital and radiology facilities. Dr. DeShaw who has radiology training from his education as a doctor, and was able to go through the xrays, fluoroscopy images, MRIs and CTs to create both 2D and 3D images of the injuries from the original imaging data. Separately High Impact Graphics (a leading litigation graphics company that has radiologists on staff) created compelling illustrations over the top of the imaging to show the injuries without them being so graphic as to alienate the jury.
The medical imaging and illustrations told much of the story of the client's severe injuries. Both Michael Leizerman and Aaron DeShaw have used High Impact for their litigation illustrations and animations in the past for high value cases.
Making Complex Injuries Less Complex in Trial
Our law firm accepts and tries highly complex traumatic injury cases. While the average personal injury case in the United States contains approximately 150 pages of medical records, our law firm typically handles cases with 2,000 to 100,000 pages of records. Some of our cases involve 50 or more different health care facilities. Lawyers refer their clients to us when the injuries when our background will help their clients obtain a better outcome. Doctors refer to us because they know we understand the injuries and the permanent consequences of the injuries.
Overwhelming Injuries Can Overwhelm a Jury
Given our expertise in complex injuries, we also realize there are times when the injuries can be so extensive and the treatment so profound that you could lose jurors in the complexity. There are times when we believe that taking the injuries to their full, long term and final outcome could be overwhelming. (In fact, we've had cases where the defense doctors and defense lawyers didn't have any understanding of the injuries.) So, in cases like this we have to weigh the potential value of lesser or more complex injuries, with the potential for it reducing the jury verdict.
The injuries to Michael Shank were so extensive that Dr. DeShaw had to weigh what he was going to discuss with the orthopedic surgeon and the prosthetist on direct examination.
The client nearly died at the scene and it remains unclear whether the fire department, police or a lay person saved his life by putting a tourniquet on his upper thigh to prevent him from dying from blood loss from his leg. Given the complexity of the injury he was taken by life flight helicopter from the scene to a Level 1 trauma hospital - University of Pittsburg Medical Center.
Here were a few of the many injuries sustained by Mr. Shank during the truck vs. motorcycle crash:
Traumatically Amputated, Mangled & Degloved Left Lower Leg
When he arrived at the hospital it became clear that he had sustained a near total traumatic amputation of the lower leg - meaning that the impact of the commercial truck fractured the tibia and fibula of the lower leg, cut through the muscles of the lower leg including the gastrocneumius and soleus muscles and that his leg was only held on by a small amount of remaining skin and muscle. There was significant contamination from road debris.
The term "mangled" is often used as slang for a bad injury. In orthopedics, a "mangled extremity" refers to a severe limb injury with complex damage to bones, soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves, often resulting from high-energy trauma. A mangled limb creates a difficult choice for patients and surgeons between attempting limb reconstruction or performing an amputation. There are scoring systems, including the Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS), that exist to help quantify the injury's severity and guide surgeons' decision-making process.
While surgeons typically work to preserve a limb, there was simply no option in this case. While on the stand, Dr. Tarkin noted that the illustrations we provided were not nearly as graphic as the actual injuries which were horrific.
Beyond this, the client had a degloving injury, which is a severe traumatic injury where the skin and soft tissue are torn away from the underlying muscle, connective tissue, or bone. Other than an amputation, degloving injuries are one of the worst traumatic injuries a person can sustain.
A below knee amputation ("BKA") was performed the first day and antibiotics were provided to minimize the risk of infection. Over the coming days, another amputation was done at the knee joint, and then a few days later an Above Knee Amputation ("AKA") was performed.
Generally surgeons prefer to keep amputations below the knee because it preserves the biomechanics of the knee, allowing for less complications from prosthetics. Unfortunately in this case that was not possible.
Severe Internal Bleed Resulting in Abdominal Scarring
Mr. Shank also had internal bleeding, the origin of which was not clear at first. An abdominal ultrasound suggested internal bleeding and an exploratory surgery was performed on the first day to find the source. It was unsuccessful in locating a major source of the bleed. A second was performed a few days later, again not finding any significant bleed. The client has a very significant keloid scar over his entire abdomen from his pelvic area to his sternum.
Left Brachial Artery and Axillary Artery Damage with resulting Thrombosis
The records demonstrate that in looking at the severely damaged left arm, the team of surgeons realized that the distal left brachial artery and/or left Axial artery had been torn and was surrounded by clotted blood (called a thrombosis). This was repaired and a stent was placed inside the Axial artery to keep it open and minimize the risk of thrombus in the area that could end up causing a stroke.
Left Humerus & Ulna Fractures
The left arm was severely injured - in some ways nearly as bad as the left leg. The upper arm (humerus)
was a comminuted open fracture. The lower arm (ulna and radius) were less severely injured but the distal humerus was destroyed so there was not a viable elbow joint.
The proximal humerus had three primary sections and the fracture was open. The distal humerous was severely damaged with the elbow joint destructed. During his direct testimony Dr. Tarkin said that he distinctly remembered the surgeries on Michael Shank, out of thousands of orthopedic surgeries, because it was the worst elbow injury he had ever seen. He noted that no medical imaging was capable of demonstrating the severity of injury given that the joint was completely destructed with small fragments of bone scattered throughout the elbow region.
The crash happened September 18, 2017 and the first surgery on the left arm was to save the arm. After repair of the Brachial and Axial Artery damage, there was a pulse in the left arm. The surgical teams believed there was some chance of him regaining nerve function and strength in the arm. During Mr. Shank's 28 days at UPMC he had multiple more surgeries on the arm to stabilize it and give him the best chance at salvaging his limb.
In the second and third arm sugeries external fixation was put on the arm to hold it in place. The best option of saving the arm was to fuse the elbow at approximately 90 degrees. This resulted in internal rods, plates and screws being inserted into the arm and forearm. While Dr. DeShaw was able to get the radiographs from the imaging studies after these surgeries, we felt it was better for the jury if High Impact illustrated the medical hardware over the original x-rays.
Once he was discharged he had several more surgeries on the left arm. Like many people with severe injuries or amputations he had occasional infections in the left arm. His pain in the arm was severe throughout a period of approximately 16 months - often ranging from 7 out of 10 (disabling) to 10 out of 10 (the most severe pain imaginable.) This went on day after day.
Throughout the time from the date of injury to post-crash care, doctors were checking on indicators of nerve function - namely sensation, motor function of the muscles innervated by those nerves, and reflexes. There was no sensation, muscle function or reflexes in his left arm after the crash. But, he kept hoping for the best and tried to bear the severe pain.
In January 2019 (16 months post injury) he had nerve conduction studies performed on his brachial plexus - the nerves that leave the neck and go down the arm. As discussed further below, the brachial plexus can be damaged in injuries where there is significant impact downward on the shoulder. Michael knew that if the nerve conduction study showed that the nerves had not regained some function, he would never regain any function of his arm.
Left Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation
Left Displaced Scapula Fracture
Brachial Plexus Stretch Injury and Destruction
Traumatic Pneumothorax (Bilateral)
Right C7 Articular Mass & Right C6 Inferior Articular Fracture – 9/18/17 CTA of the Neck
Rib Fractures
In addition, ribs 1-9 were fractured. These were each illustrated by High Impact Graphics.
Making Complex Injury Cases Less Complex in Trial
The reality is that these extensive and severe injuries are overwhelming. There are cases including this one where covering every injury in detail would detract from our ability to get the best verdict for the client. Instead of covering every injury in detail, Dr. DeShaw focused primarily on the leg amputations, the arm injuries and surgeries.
First we provided one powerpoint slide providing an overview of all of the injuries so that the jury understood the extent of what had happed to our client. In response the doctor gave a brief overview of Mr. Shank when he arrived in the emergency room. From there, DeShaw addressed each of the injuries very quickly with our expert witness surgeon. Most of the direct examination was focused on the arm and leg, the resulting surgeries and the permanent physical and psychological impact on the client. This included the impact of phantom pain and phantom sensation and the impact on Mr. Shank in his life, including how the severe pain had impacted him personally and his marriage in the eight years after the crash.
Attempts to Settle the Case
Given that the case had not been settled, Sidiropolous and DeShaw, both of whom have extensive background with insurance bad faith litigation, considered the insurance issues if the settlement offer did not increase.
After being hired, DeShaw, who is nationally known for his demand letter methods based on his research on insurance claim software, attempted to settle the case for the policy limit of the two companies’ insurance, which was represented as being $37 million. The insurers refused to tender their policies, making no offer.
During a judicial settlement conference the defendants and their insurers highest offer was $350,000.
DeShaw (on behalf of the team) continued to offer the defendants and their insurers the opportunity to settle after initial motion rulings by the court that improved the plaintiffs’ chances of winning. The insurers refused, believing a Jefferson County Ohio jury wouldn’t return a verdict over $350,000 for a double amputee.
At Mr. Sidiropolous' suggestion the legal team added attorney Jeff Bruzzese as local counsel a few weeks before trial, who provided great assistance with locating local crash witnesses eight years after the crash, as well as insights during jury selection, as well as arguments before the court.
The new legal team worked together diligently for the past two years, and long hours together throughout the trial, resulting in an excess verdict against the defendants. It is good proof that even in smaller communities, juries will return significant verdicts when people are seriously injured.
The defense lawyer criticized the large legal team and out of state witnesses throughout trial hoping this would bias the jury against the plaintiffs.
The Amputation Trial
The case was tried by Michael Leizerman and Jonathan Bond of The Law Firm for Truck Safety and Aaron DeShaw of the DeShaw Law firm in Portland Oregon. Bond, Sidiropolous and DeShaw wrote motions prior to and throughout trial. All five plaintiff lawyers argued different motions, motions in limine and jury instructions.
Leizerman and Bond handled all aspects of liability during trial and DeShaw handled all aspects of the medicine, injuries, prosthetics and damages. Dr. DeShaw combed through 10,000 pages of medical records including nearly 6,000 from the client's 28 day stay in University of Pittsburg Medical Center.
Plaintiff expert Ivan Tarkin MD was the chief of orthopedic surgery at UPMC, and was an exceptional witness. Sidiropolous secured him as a plaintiff witness, a huge benefit to our clients. Dr. Tarkin is one of the nation's leading orthopedic surgeons having performed thousands of orthopedic surgeries and having published 100 peer reviewed articles on orthopedic surgery. His testimony at trial was exceptional discussing the series of leg amputations first below the knee, then at the knee, then at above the knee. Dr. Tarkin then discuss the attempts for over one year at saving Mr. Shank's left arm that ultimately were unsuccessful. Due to the sheer injury with the much larger utility truck, Michael Shank sustained damage to his subclavian artery and axial artery that required immediate surgery to save his life.
DeShaw used a combination of graphics directly from the original radiology DICOM files, and illustrations from High Impact Graphics, the leading legal graphics company. (Warning Graphic.)
DeShaw and Tarkin's interaction was powerful and graphic. The nearly two hour direct examination, walking through anatomy, injuries and surgeries was so compelling that defense counsel asked no cross examination questions of Dr. Tarkin.
Choosing the Best Prosthetist for an Arm Amputation Case
In looking at the prior prosthetic plan once we got involved, we realized that the prosthetist hired by the prior lawyers did not have extensive experience in upper extremity (arm) prosthetics, which are far less common than lower extremity (leg) prosthetics. Out of concern, DeShaw went on a national search for the leading upper extremity prosthetist, and with Sidiropolous and his law office, we set up meetings for the client then had extensive contact with the expert to understand the prosthetic plan and discuss it with the economist. Extensive discussions were had about needing a separate life care planner and since the client was no longer having problems with post-amputation infections we chose not to add an additional expert. There was a prior vocational rehabilitation program used by the economist, but we did not end up calling the voc rehab expert during trial.
During trial the liability witnesses were called both before and after the medical testimony.
The Defense Liability Case Self Destructs
Michael Leizerman's deposition of the defendant driver in early 2025 changed the likelihood we would win the liability case. All of the reconstructionists believed the truck driver was going 59-64 miles per hour at the time of impact. Two lay witnesses believed he was driving 60-65 through the intersection, but the truck driver denied it. He admitted to going downhill into a very tricky intersection with his cruise control set to 55.
But, what was clear is that he had taken his eyes off the road ahead for a long time, and didn't know what he had hit at the time of impact.
Lay Witness Testimony
With the trial eight years after the crash, the lay witnesses were not interested in testifying. One of the witnesses, who had provided a statement that the truck driver was "flying" at a highly excessive speed was in jail and not available. Subpoenas were issued by both sides and even at that, some refused to appear. One did appear. We talked to him and had an idea what he would say.
Just before he testified the defense lawyer asked to speak to him. DeShaw stood by to ensure he wasn't pushed to testify differently. Defense counsel pulled him down the hall. When asked what he was going to say, he noted that he would testify that the truck was speeding and left his lane of travel, hitting the motorcyclist. Defense counsel told him that is not what the police decided. This upset the witness who had a very clear memory of the event including the name and position of every person in his car at the time of the crash. When he got on the stand he told the jury exactly what he saw. When cross examined, the witness revealed to the jury that he had been told outside the courtroom that his observations were wrong by defense counsel. On redirect he dug in and showed exactly what he could see and how he could see it given the layout of the vehicles. It supported that Shank was on his side of the road and that the truck driver had gone over center in the intersection and hit Shank.
Plaintiff Crash Reconstruction Expert
Plaintiff's crash reconstructionist was exceptional. Using the lay witness testimony and a further review of the police photos, he refined his observations about the crash. He picked out a large gouge mark in the pavement that was clearly made by the crash, but which the police crash reconstructionist and the defense expert both ignored in their reconstruction. The first mark, confirmed that our client was on his side of the road in the intersection. Defense counsel disputed that this was correct because he performed his highly detailed reconstruction seven years later. But there was a problem...
The Surprise from a Defense Witness - Police Officer
The first defense witness was a police officer. He testified that he had been at the scene just after the crash and that he had taken many pictures. Of these, one showed a gouge mark in the road before the point that the Ohio State Police reconstructionist had used as the point of impact. Leizerman asked the officer if that mark was from the crash. The jury already knew what that meant - our crash reconstructionists was correct. The point of impact was inside Mr. Shank's side of the intersection. The jury clearly understood what that meant in terms of who was at fault for the crash.
In most states, witnesses who are not qualified as expert witnesses (often called "lay witnesses") cannot be in the courtroom during the testimony of others. By contrast, expert witnesses can sit through the testimony of other witnesses. And, the defense crash reconstructionist had sat through our crash reconstructionist's testimony, as well as the police officer's testimony about the first gouge mark in the road.
We had also asked our expert witness to sit through the rest of the testimony, including that of the defense crash reconstructionist and then be ready to testify in our rebuttal case.
The Disappearing Expert Witness
Just a few minutes before this admission, the defense lawyer had told the Judge that he planned to call his crash reconstruction expert after the two police officers. Then, he didn't. He rested without calling any expert witnesses. It was clear that he already understood that his expert witness was not going to be able to support his report given that he had ignored what were clearly new marks on the road from the crash, circled with orange paint by the police officers at the scene.
What the defense was probably not aware of, is that a few weeks earlier in preparing for that expert's cross examination, lawyers George Sidiropolis and Aaron DeShaw found a prior case in which the defense crash reconstructionist had testified completely opposite to his opinion in the Shank case. Sidiropolis and DeShaw wrote a set of cross examination questions for the defense expert that likely would have discredited his testimony. As it turned out, they weren't needed because of the police officer's honesty that both the Ohio State Police official crash reconstruction and the defense crash reconstruction were wrong because they failed to take into account the first road mark identified by the police.
The Truth is Revealed in Trial
One purpose of jury trials is to (hopefully) uncover the truth. This trial demonstrates how preconceived beliefs about how an event occurred, can be discredited when subjected to a thorough evaluation.
Very few lawyers now go to trial, and so an injured person's opportunity for such a detailed evaluation with a team of high quality lawyers and expert witnesses is seldom available. The Shank family are great people who have worked to continue forward with the best life possible despite the horrible injuries caused by this crash. The legal team wanted to give them every opportunity to get fair trial for a life-changing loss.
Thankfully the jury was willing to consider this case impartially despite the Ohio State Police taking a position that our client was at fault for turning in front of Mr. Gerner. That belief started at the scene when Gerner told police that Shank had turned left directly in front of him. But, the physical evidence simply did not support that type of impact because there was minimal damage to the front part of the motorcycle, or on the right side of the motorcycle. After looking at all of the evidence, the jury understood that. The only way the crash could occur is that Mr. Gerner took his eyes off the road for an extended time, drifted left of of his lane, and side swiped Michael Shank on the left side of his motorcycle.
Highest Verdict in US History for an Amputee
The verdict was $82,105,345.70 (believed to be the highest personal injury verdict in Ohio history.) Our client was found to be 0% of the cause of the crash. The verdict was $79,105,345.70 for Michael Shank, and $3,000,000 in loss of consortium for his wife Brittany Shank.
The case is believed to be the highest amputation verdict in US history for an amputee. While there was a double leg amputation case that received a gross verdict of $95,000,000 total, $10,000,000 of that was for the wife's loss of consortium claim. That plaintiff was found to be 10% liable - reducing the verdict to $76,500,000. As a result, the verdict of $79,105,345.70 for Michasel Shank is the highest verdict for an amputee - reasonable given that he was 33 years old at the time of the crash and had devastating injuries throughout his body, the most serious of which was an above elbow amputation and above knee amputation.
How to Choose the Best Amputation Injury Lawyer
The stakes are high after an amputation. Victims face not only physical and emotional loss but also financial losses. An experienced amputation lawyer considers and documents the client's losses and ensures that all liable parties are held accountable. An experienced amputation lawyer will ensure you have legal proof of appropriate compensation by considering all current and future personal and financial damages—which can be more significant than you realize. Specific experts are needed for amputation cases and a nationally recognized amputation lawyer can find the necessary expert witnesses for your legal case. A highly qualified amputation lawyer can also help you through the changes that an amputation brings to your life, and handles the legal burden so you can focus on recovery from other injuries as well as the difficult early stages of life with a prosthetic.
Many lawyers advertise for amputation cases, but very few have experience. Even less have trial experience, obtaining trial verdicts for amputees. The choice of lawyer can make a significant difference for the rest of your life and so your choice is very important.
When selecting the best representation for your amputation case, always ask questions. Have they handled cases like yours before? What avenues of evidence will they get for your case if you hire them? Are they prepared to go to trial if a full, fair settlement cannot be reached?
Amputations are life-changing events, but you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. The dedicated amputation lawyers at DeShaw Law Firm will guide you through every step, from investigation to settlement or trial, fighting for the compensation you deserve.
