Overview
Matt secured a trial victory on a workers’ compensation case involving a petitioner who alleged a serious wrist injury requiring surgery and a possible fusion procedure. The petitioner sought benefits for permanent partial disability (PPD), temporary total disability (TTD), and medical expenses, totaling a potential exposure of $100,000. Matt successfully argued that the petitioner was not an employee, but an independent contractor, and therefore not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. The arbitrator agreed and denied the claim in its entirety.
