A fork lift operator, for Johnson Controls, from Orbisonia, PA, suffered a work injury in May 2013, which the insurance carrier, Underwriters Safety & Claims, accepted as a cervical strain. We filed a Penalty Petition because the insurance carrier had failed to timely pay the injured worker his wage loss benefits. The insurance carrier had the injured worker attend an independent medical examination and the IME physician reported that he had sustained a traumatic disc herniation at C3-4. The employee continued to receive wage loss benefit until the case ultimately settled for $132,500 via a compromise and release.
