$190,000 - A client who was a minor at the time of the work related injury. My office established that the injuries were permanent in nature and negotiated a proper average weekly wage to include wage expectancy. In other words, the value of the claim was based on what the injured worker might have earned at the age of 25 as the law provides. Accordingly, the client received maximum value. $85,410 - A client who sustained a serious leg injury. The client was awarded continuing benefits until the settlement. The carrier had attempted to substantially lower the payments during the course of the claim. My office fought for the client, kept the continuing payments at a reasonable level and negotiated a fair final settlement. $63,000 - A client who sustained spinal injuries. The carrier fought hard to deny any additional payments by arguing the client had a new, unrelated accident. My office fought harder than the carrier and argued the client had disabling injuries from the work related accident. My office was ready to go to trial with the diagnostic test results. Before trial, the offer of settlement was made by the carrier. $36,000 - Client who sustained a meniscus tear in one knee and sprain in the other knee. My office negotiated the award based on permanent injuries to both knees. $33,180 - A client who sustained bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of a distinctive feature of her occupation. My office negotiated the award based on claimed permanent injuries. |
