Settlement of Workers’ Compensation Claim for $108,000

Injured worker was employed as a service technician for copier machines.  He sustained an injury to his back while lifting machine parts.  The worker had previously had back surgery for an unrelated work injury with a different employer.  The worker’s treating doctor performed a spinal fusion surgery following the second incident.  The client received an additional 11% disability rating to the back following the second surgery.  This claim was mediated before a former Workers’ Compensation Commissioner.  The insurance companies for both the employers contributed to the final settlement amount.
