Represented Worker with Radial Nerve Palsy

Area of Expertise: Workers' Compensation

Settlement Amount: $165,000

Represented an injured worker who had an upper extremity injury that resulted in a condition known as radial nerve palsy affecting the strength and stability of the extremity. We were about to obtain a favorable result in excess of $165,000 in benefits. We included protective language in the settlement agreement that limited the offset of social security disability that could be attributed to an SSDI claim. The injured worker is now able to also seek SSDI and Medicare benefits over and above his lump-sum portion of the settlement.
