An iron worker, sustained a work-related injury in October 2011, which the insurance carrier, Argonaut Insurance Co., accepted as a low back strain. We filed a Reinstatement Petition. The insurance carrier then filed a Termination Petition alleging the injured worker could return to unrestricted work and that he was fully recovered from his work injury. We then filed a Penalty Petition because the insurance carrier had illegally stopped paying the injured worker his TTD wage loss benefits. While the claim was being actively litigated, the case ultimately settled for a lump sum of $145,000 via a compromise and release.
