We’re pleased to share two recent workers’ compensation resolutions by MSP partner Rob Monroe.
In one matter, Rob represented a truck driver who injured his knee while performing routine maintenance. The employer initially accepted the claim but later suspended weekly benefits after a premature full-duty release. Rob worked with the treating physician to reverse that release and secured reinstatement of benefits; the case later settled for $40,000.
In another, Rob represented a manufacturing worker who injured her shoulder and remained out of work for nearly three years following surgery. When overuse led to similar problems in the other shoulder, Rob successfully argued it was a “superadded injury,” and the claim resolved for $50,000.
Georgia’s workers compensation system is complex, and contains a maze of terminology, procedural rules, and deadlines. If you or a family member has been injured at work, call MSP for a consultation with Rob about your rights.
