  • $190,000 Payment for Knee Injury

    Case Summary:

    Claimant was a carpenter who suffered a knee injury while bending over nailing down industrial carpet. Originally, the injury seemed no more than a sprain and strain but eventually it worsened and the treating physician recommended a total knee replacement. However, that same doctor indicated claimant could perform sedentary work.

     

     

    Outcome:

    This matter resolved for $190,000 with the stipulation that medical bills would be left open for two years during which time the employer would be responsible if the claimant needed knee replacement.
