$130,000.00 Settlement for Knee Injury

Case Study

December 18, 2015

An employee, working as a regional trainer at a medical facility, sustained a work-related injury in September 2012, which the insurance carrier, Hartford Casualty Insurance Company, accepted as a left knee strain/sprain. We filed a Utilization Review regarding prospective medication management from a pain management physician to obtain pre-approval of the treatment. The case ultimately settled for $130,000 via a compromise and release.
