Knee and Hip Injury Claim

Claimant, a concrete worker, was injured on the job and filed a claim for knee and hip injuries. The employer denied the claim. We won acceptance of the claim at hearing as well as a ruling from the judge that the employer’s denial of the claim was unreasonable, securing a 25% penalty on all back time-loss payments as well as a right to medical care. After claimant was able to seek care, it was determined that he needed a hip replacement.
