$10,000 A 63-year-old gentleman from Walla Walla suffered an injury to his lower back.

A 63-year-old gentleman from Walla Walla suffered an injury to his lower back. His self-insured claim was closed without award for permanent partial disability; this was based upon the nonsensical conclusions of IME examiners that there were no objective findings to support permanent impairment. Claimant’s attending physician, whose impartiality was also questionable, suddenly and unexpectedly released him to work his job of injury without restrictions. Calbom & Schwab appealed the closing order and, absent having to incur the expense of a further independent evaluation, was able to negotiate a side bar agreement of $10,000 with the self-insured employer.
