An employee from Hummelstown, PA, working as a foreman / fence installer for Tyson Fence Company, sustained a right shoulder rotator cuff work-related injury in February 2008, which the insurance carrier, Excelsior Insurance Company, accepted. We filed a Review Petition to have the description of injury be amended to include the injury to the employee’s cervical discs. The employee continued to receive wage loss benefits while his case was being litigated. The case ultimately settled for $150,000 via a compromise and release. Including the settlement, the injured worker received $241,839.23 in wage loss benefits and $66,272.19 in medical benefits for the work injury.
