OUTCOME: Obtained Medical and Temporary Disability Benefits for client
Mr. Ricciardelli successfully litigated multiple motions for medical and temporary disability benefits. Client received medical care with the number one premiere shoulder surgeon on the east coast for ... both of her injured shoulders. She received payment for time out of work and temporary disability benefits.
OUTCOME: Verdict in Favor Client
After a full trial, the Judge of Compensation rendered a decision in favor of Mr. Ricciardelli's client. The client was the defendant. The main issue was compensability in this Occupational Exposure De ... pendency Claim.
OUTCOME: Temporary Disability Benefits at Maximum Rate
Our client was injured at work. She received authorized medical care and pay for her lost time at work through her Workers' Compensation insurance carrier. However, they were paying her at the New York ... State temporary disability rate, which is only 20% of her gross wage. This is because her most recent employment with the company was in the State of New York. Even so, she was hired in the State of New Jersey and completed initial work in that state. Based upon that, our position was that New Jersey law should apply and our client was entitled to temporary disability benefits at the rate of 70% of her wages. We tried to resolve this issue without formal litigation. When the insurance carrier denied our requests, we filed a Motion with the Court. This Motion was successful. As a result, the client received an additional $625, tax free, for each week that she was out of work.
OUTCOME: Past and Future Medical Care and Temporary Disability Benefits
Our client suffered a head and neck injury when he was struck by an 80-lb door at work. Initially the insurance company provided limited medical care and pay for lost time from work. However, the insur ... ance doctor stopped medical care too soon. Our client was in pain and unable to work. Mr. Ricciardelli filed a Motion for Medical and Temporary Disability Benefits. This type of Motion is handled like a trial. We took testimony from both the client and an examining doctor that we selected. Then we cross examined the insurance doctor. The judge’s verdict was completely in our favor. The judge ordered the insurance company to send our client to an orthopedic surgeon for more medical care, which will likely include surgery. He also ordered the insurance company to pay for 11 months of past due for lost time from work, with future benefits as long as the new treating doctor believes it is necessary.
