An union employee from Ashley, PA, working as a supervisor for a youth services group sustained a work injury described as a left shoulder rotator cuff tear in April 2011, which the insurance carrier accepted. The injured worker had returned to work but was later taken back out from work by his physician for a surgery to repair the tear of his rotator cuff. We requested the insurance carrier reinstate the injured workers’ wage loss benefits which the insurance carrier willingly did without the need for litigation. The claim ultimately settled for $145,000 via a compromise and release.
