An office worker from Harrisburg, working at Pinnacle Health Hospital, sustained a work-related injury in February 2010, which the insurance carrier, Inservco Insurance Services, accepted as a “lumbar/sacral strain with spasm.” The insurance carrier filed a Termination Petition alleging the injured worker could return to work without restrictions and was fully recovered from the work injury. We filed a Review Petition due to the fact that the insurance carrier was paying the incorrect amount of partial and total disability benefits to the injured worker. We also filed a Review Petition seeking amendment of the description of injury to more accurately reflect the injured worker’s back injury. While in litigation, the case ultimately settled for a lump sum of $125,000.00 via a compromise and release.
