RE:
Workers' Compensation Settlement
Claim Number 998748-LFE Date of Accident 6/11198
As you are aware the workers' compensation attorney for the County has been mediating
, , the claim mentioned above for several months now. The opening demand from
opposing council was in the amount of $500,000.00 plus a statutory attorney's fee to
settle this matter. After months of negotiating on the part of our attorney and excess
carrier, I am pleased to advise that a settlement was recently reached in the amount of
$120,000.00 inclusive of attorney's fees and costs.
