* Defended employer in an injured worker’s appeal to the Full Commission on a claim for an open indemnity period.   Successfully relied on an ineffective marketing defense at both the deputy commissioner level and the Full Commission which resulted in a significant indemnity savings to the employer.
* Defended employer against claims for lifetime medicals, indemnity, and a permanency rating of a worker’s amputated limb.  Successful defense based on Claimant not proving an injury that occurred at a definite time with a sudden bodily change which saved the employer thousands of dollars in lifetime medical care.
* Defended manufacturer against a workers’ compensation claim filed for an injured worker’s back injury claim.  By relying on the defense that the worker lacked the required medical evidence for a back injury occurring on the date of accident, the employer achieved significant savings.
