$553,086.99 Workers’ Compensation Recovery for Paramedic With Severe Knee Injuries

The attorneys at Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC represented a paramedic who suffered significant knee injuries while responding to an emergency call.

While performing his duties, our client fell through a damaged board on a porch, causing serious injuries to his knees. The injuries required extensive medical treatment, including multiple knee replacement surgeries, and resulted in significant time away from work.

Although the workers’ compensation claim was initially accepted, disputes arose when additional surgeries and related disability were requested. Each time a procedure was recommended, the insurance company obtained adverse medical evaluations questioning whether the proposed treatment, recovery period, and resulting disability were related to the original workplace injury.

Through litigation and aggressive advocacy, Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC successfully resolved the claim and secured benefits necessary to address our client’s ongoing medical needs and financial losses.

The recovery included $66,279.09 in temporary disability benefits, $126,000 in permanent disability benefits, and $360,807.90 in medical expenses, in addition to future medical care.

Total Recovery to Date: $553,086.99+
