An employee from New Columbia, PA, working as an electrician, sustained a work injury described as a lower back herniated disc at L4-5 in July 2012, which the insurance carrier accepted. Because he was working at a wage loss, the injured worker was receiving partial disability wage loss benefits when he contacted us and expressed an interest in settling his claim. Without the need for litigation, the case ultimately settled for $120,000 via a compromise and release.
