The Challenge

The Legal Challenge

After the surgeries, the client was sent for an independent medical examination (IME) by the Workers’ Compensation insurance company, and the doctor hired by the insurance company wrote a report that our client was fully recovered. Upon receipt of the report, the insurance company attempted to offer our client a modified light duty job and filed a Termination Petition to discontinue all benefits.

Our Approach

How We Helped

Working with the orthopedic spine surgeon in Pittsburgh, QLG successfully defended the Termination Petition and the parties reached an agreement to resolve future wage loss and medical benefits, including the assignment of the subrogation lien so our client could pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver without having to pay back the Workers’ Compensation insurance company.
