Represented a global insurer and real estate company in regards to a claim petition filed by a moderate-to-heavy duty maintenance worker, alleging ongoing, disabling back and head injuries, by presenting defense evidence to show the workers' compensation judge (WCJ) that work injury did not occur. Before the WCJ decision, the latest demand to settle was $135,000 plus payment of medical expenses and costs. Based upon the defense evidence presented, including security footage, testimony from multiple fact witnesses and cross-examination of the claimant concerning his alleged story, symptoms, and treatment - the WCJ awarded no benefits.
