Jerry’s Case of the Week: Disability for foot injury accident in Petersburg is disputed but eventually results in favorable settlement.
George Crofton injured his right foot and filed a Virginia Worker's Compensation claim for this accident. He injured it while walking on a loose slate while working as a home improvement evaluator in Petersburg, Virginia. Due to this injury, he lost his job and had partial disability with limited walking. The insurer disputed the extent of his disability and assserted he had refused a light duty position within his work restrictions. I worked with the doctor who agreed Crofton could not do the light duty position. The insurer finally agreed to a settlement for $175,000.00 for his injury.
