Successfully prosecuted a termination petition for a large trucking company where the employee, with a significant pre-existing condition, sustained an aggravation of the pre-injury condition while working. When the IME doctor originally did not find the employee to have recovered, David obtained records from the employee's pre-injury condition which allowed the doctor to find, and the WCJ to conclude, that the employee's problem had returned to baseline. The demand to settle was $180,000. The decision ended the employer’s responsibility to pay weekly indemnity and medical benefits and entitled the employer to significant supersedeas fund recovery. |
