A carpenter in Sunbury, PA, sustained a work-related injury in December 2011, which the insurance carrier, State Workers’ Insurance Fund (SWIF), accepted as a left knee fracture. We filed a Review Medical Treatment and/or Billing Petition because the insurance carrier failed to pay for work-related medical bills. The employee received wage loss benefits from the time the injury occurred until, while in active litigation, the claim ultimately settled for $150,000.00
