$325,000 lump sum settlement for a 45-year-old electrical foreman who slipped and fell during a winter storm state of emergency. In addition to sustaining closed head trauma, he also sustained disc damage in his neck that required cervical surgery. The client’s claim was initially denied, but, shortly after Pearson Koutcher getting involved, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier accepted the claim and started paying wage loss and medical benefits. The resolution came as a result of a voluntary mediation.
