$225,000 Workers' Compensation Claim Settled After Dispute Over Pre-Existing Conditions

N/A

OUTCOME:

Workers' compensation claim where our client, a Virginia property management service manager, was injured using a dolly to move heavy equipment at work, suffering low back, shoulder, and hip injuries. ... The insurance carrier disputed the claim, questioning whether the injuries stemmed from pre-existing degenerative conditions rather than the accident, and the case was set for a contested hearing before the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission. Attorney Grayson Savage negotiated directly with the carrier, and the case settled for $225,000 before hearing.
