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.
At Galfand Berger, our personal injury attorneys have been pursuing justice for injured victims throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey for nearly 80 years.
