Cases and Experience

Successfully defended an occupational exposure case with the Second Injury Fund whereby petitioner’s permanent disability experts found the employee to be totally disabled from an orthopedic standpoint, 35 percent permanent partial total attributed to pulmonary disability, and 25 percent permanent partial total attributed to internal disability. The employee only worked for our client for a short time. The Judge ultimately approved a settlement for the minimal amount of $7,500.00 pursuant to Section 20.

Prior results cannot and do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome with respect to any future matter that we or any lawyer may be retained to handle.
