The Freibott Law Firm was recently successful in prosecuting its Petition for Disfigurement on behalf of one of our clients. The worker’s compensation insurance company provided a single offer for our client’s scarring and disfigurement claim and would not raise its offer at any point during the negotiations. Accordingly, our firm filed a Petition for Scarring and Disfigurement and the Industrial Accident Board agreed with our position that our client’s scarring and disfigurement claim was more serious than what the worker’s compensation insurance company had offered. The Industrial Accident Board found on behalf of our client and ordered the worker’s compensation insurance company to pay for the complete value of the scarring and disfigurement claim. The Industrial Accident Board further ordered the worker’s compensation insurance company to pay for the client’s attorney’s fees based on the work and representation performed by The Freibott Law Firm at the hearing. (Foreman v. Interstate Brands Corp., IAB Hearing No. 1256238)
