Case Details
After returning to work following surgery from a back injury, service technician reinjured his back due to lifting a heavy air conditioning unit with three other employees, resulting in his undergoing another back surgery. Our office filed a claim for additional benefits against the employer based on the theory that the employer required our client to do heavy lifting despite its knowledge of his back injury.
Additional Notes
After getting the client on permanent and total disability benefits an agreement was reached to settle his claim for $300,000. A few years later, the insurance company refused to reimburse the client for pain medications and a claim was filed on the client’s behalf, resulting in the insurance company paying the client for those medical expenses.
