RE:
Claim Number 9982161 LFE Date Of Loss 12/28/98 & 2/1/96
As you are aware on 7/19 we mediated the above mentioned claims with our Worker's
Compensation Attorney Luis Estrada and Mediatior Tom Glick. As we discussed, the
opening demand for both claims from opposing council was for $350,000.00. After
several hours settlement was reached in the amount of $136,348.00. As you know with
the complexities in this type of claim it is believed that this represents an excellent
settlement for the County.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please
feel free to contact me at ext. 4449.
