Make sure you receive ALL the Workers' Comp benefits you are entitled to!

On October 9, 2012 Delaware County Workers Compensation attorney Mark R. Schmidt settled the claim of 55-year-old large truck mechanic, who suffered injuries to both shoulders after being struck by a pneumatic jack, in a work related accident occurring on August 26, 2010.

The Insurance Company's doctor, as well as the claimant's own surgeon released him to return to work, with restrictions. The doctors listed different restrictions, however. A vocational rehabilitation counselor hired by the Insurance Company used the restrictions outlined by the Insurance Company's doctor in preparing a labor market survey. Many, if not all of those jobs exceeded the restrictions placed on claimant by his own doctor. The
Insurance Company was also challenging the injured worker's ongoing physical therapy through a process called Utilization Review. In addition to all of the wage loss benefits received by the employee since the date of injury, attorney Schmidt negotiated a settlement of $125,000.00 representing three years of FUTURE benefits.

If you have been injured at work, you need an attorney who will fight hard against the Insurance Company for any and all compensation available under the law. Even if the Insurance Company claims that you have received all of the benefits you are entitled to, an experienced work injury lawyer is essential to determine whether or not they are telling the truth. The work injury lawyers at Schmidt, Kirifides & Fridkin have the knowledge and experience to recover those "extra" benefits that you may be entitled
to. For a FREE consultation, call 1-877-268-6466 or contact us online at SKFTrialAttorneys.com
