BBS Associate Griffin Watson Triumphs in Workers' Compensation Case Involving Severe Injuries

BBS Associate Griffin Watson successfully won a termination petition in a Workers Compensation case heard by a judge in Malvern, PA. This victory resulted in the termination of both benefits and medical treatment for the claimant in a contested case that involved several serious injuries. Despite the Defense securing medical opinions indicating that the claimant had reached Maximum Medical Improvement from both orthopedic and neurological perspectives, the claimant countered with their own experts advocating for substantial future treatment. However, upon thorough examination of the evidence, inconsistencies began to surface. Griffin's diligent efforts uncovered surveillance footage that cast doubt on the claimant's credibility. During cross-examination, Griffin effectively challenged the claimant's concussion expert witness, exposing the superficiality of the tests supporting their opinion. The Workers Compensation Judge highlighted in her decision that the claimant's neurological expert appeared more focused on self-promotion as a concussion specialist than on providing substantive evidence. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Griffin, as it was the first case he handled independently. It is a testament to his skill and dedication, and we extend our congratulations to him on this remarkable win.
