Overview
Matt obtained a favorable settlement for a restaurant client in a workers’ compensation case involving a kitchen cook who suffered a stroke. The petitioner alleged the stroke was caused by his job duties, but Matt uncovered extensive medical records showing a long history of smoking, high blood pressure, and other pre-existing conditions that contributed to the stroke. Despite the petitioner’s claim of permanent and total disability, Matt’s evidence significantly undermined the case, resulting in a settlement of only $15,000.
