Overview
In a recent case, Matt successfully defended a manufacturing company in a workers’ compensation case involving multiple alleged trauma injuries, including bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral cubital tunnel syndrome, right thumb basilar joint arthritis, and left ulnar nerve neuropathy. At trial, Matt was able to prove that all injuries, except the bilateral carpal tunnel, were unrelated to the petitioner’s work duties. The petitioner appealed this decision to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, which affirmed the favorable trial decision.
In addition to this result, Matt has achieved similar outcomes for other manufacturing clients by obtaining fully disputed settlements at nuisance value and winning dismissals through effective pre-trial motion practice, saving clients the cost and risk of prolonged litigation.
