The Freibott Law Firm was recently successful in prosecuting a case on behalf of one of our clients wherein our client injured his right knee on October 19, 2017 while working for his employer. There were two petitions filed in this matter, one by each party, and both heard by the same time by the Industrial Accident Board. In our petition, we alleged that our client needed a total knee replacement due to this industrial accident and the Employer filed a petition alleging that our client was no longer totally disabled and did not need a total knee replacement. The Industrial Accident Board found that our client was credible and further found that our client’s doctor, Dr. Alex Bodenstab, was also credible. The Industrial Accident Board found that the opinion of the Employer’s doctor, Dr. William C. Murphy, was not credible. Accordingly, the Industrial Accident Board awarded our client’s request for a total knee replacement and denied the Employer’s Petition to Terminate our client’s total disability status. The Industrial Accident Board further awarded attorney’s fees to our firm as well as the cost of our expert witness testimony. (Story v.
