Workers’ compensation settlement at a mediation for a client who was picking up a propane cylinder when he injured his back and was given a twelve percent (12%) permanent impairment rating to his spine by his physician. We were able to secure not only compensation for the impairment and resulting disability; moreover, we were able to secure additional funds for future medical treatment. We also protected the client so that he could secure social security disability benefits by including certain language in the settlement documents that would decrease the off-set that the Social Security Administration would take.
