RE:
Work Comp Claim 9640100 Date of Injury 9/23/91
As you are aware on 12/21/99 the above mentioned claim was mediated. Mediation was
scheduled for 3:30 and ended at 6:45. Opening demand from opposing council was for
$325,000.00. The Claimant has been given an 85% impairment rating, which is the
highest I have ever seen. I think we all feel this is a claim we should have settled due to
the complexity of issues and the length of time that it has been open. Settlement was
reached in the amount of$149,000.00 inclusive.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please
do not hesitate to contact me at ext. 4449.
