An employee from Elizabethtown, PA, working as delivery driver for Continental Floral, sustained a work injury described as a left shoulder sprain in October 2012 which the insurance carrier, Argonaut Insurance Co., accepted. We filed a Review Petition requesting recalculation of the injured worker’s average weekly wage and compensation rate because the insurance carrier failed to properly include all of his pay including full salary, bonuses and per diem pay. The parties entered into a Stipulation in which the insurance carrier agreed that the average weekly wage should be changed from $876.62 to $1,153.71 and the compensation rate should be changed from $584.41 to $769.14. The insurance carrier had the injured worker attend an independent medical examination with Dr. Sanjiv Naidu and the IME physician reported that he had sustained a resolved left shoulder cuff tear. The insurance carrier then filed a Termination Petition based on the IME Report. While the Termination Petition was being actively litigated, the case ultimately settled for $137,500 via a compromise and release.
