Client Receives Settlement After Employer Denies Treatment and TTD Benefits
How The Client Was Injured
Our client injured his back and neck lifting heavy equipment while working for his employer in Florence, Kentucky. Because he had a neck injury years beforehand, his employer denied all his treatment and refused to pay him Temporary Total Disability (TTD).

What Lawrence & Associates Did to Help

The End Result
Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC won the claim and got our client the treatment he needed. He is still treating today and hopes to make a full recovery.

Employee Secures Compensation After Hospital Denies On-the-Job Injury

The End Result
The hospital backed down and agreed to pay for TTD and medical treatment without the need for a claim. Our client was delighted that she was able to move on with her life without the time and difficulty of filing a claim.
