Injured Worker Receives Permanent Total Disability Benefits in Workers’ Compensation Claim

The Employee was a janitor at a high school and was seriously injured when a student was running and collided with him, knocking him to the ground. He sustained a torn shoulder, fractured vertebra, and a concussion/closed head injury. The Employer/Insurer tried to dispute the injuries, calling some of them pre-existing. The case went to trial, and the Employee was awarded the maximum benefits under the law, plus medical care to remain open for life.
