Delays and Denials of Benefits
Case Results
House v. Acline HR/Broadpsire
Entire Claim Denied After Positive Drug Test
The injured worker was denied all benefits after he hurt his shoulder while working as a carpenter. The denial was based on a urine drug test taken after the accident which was positive for the use of marijuana.
After the Workers’ Compensation Judge heard the evidence at trial, Olivia obtained a completely favorable ruling for her client, which included an award of both lost wages and medical care.
Sams v. Family Dollar
Lost Wages Denied Based on False Statements by Co-Workers
The injured worker was denied temporary lost wage benefits after she was fired by the Employer for alleged “misconduct” at work following her accident. A trial before the Workers’ Compensation Judge revealed that Olivia’s client was falsely accused by her former employer.
Both back lost wage benefits and ongoing lost wage benefits were awarded by the Judge.
Marchant v. Premier Beverage Company, LLC
Permanent Total Disability Benefits Not Timely Paid
The injured worker was paid temporary lost wage benefits for several years, followed by the payment of impairment benefits. She did not have an attorney when the Employer/Carrier told her that she had “exhausted” her benefits which lead the injured worker to believe that she was not entitled to any additional monetary benefits.
After investigation, Olivia was able to secure Permanent Total Disability benefits for the injured worker, which will be paid until her 75th birthday.
