An employee from Three Springs, PA, working as a heavy equipment operator, sustained a work injury described as a cervical strain / sprain in July 2010, which the insurance carrier, Gallagher Bassett Services, accepted. We filed a Review Petition seeking to have the description of the neck injury amended to include a right shoulder injury, carpal tunnel injury and a disfigurement claim. The insurance carrier filed a Termination Petition alleging that the injured worker was fully recovered from his work injury. While the claim was being actively litigated, the case ultimately settled for $120,000 via a compromise and release.
